If i...

If I told you I was deaf would you turn away?
Or would I read your lips that tells me it’s okay?
Would you understand if I used my hands,
To speak to you?

If I tried to speak and the words weren’t  complete,
Would you smile and think less of me?
Do you really see me for me and not a disability?
If I began to stare would you realise?

How much I need to listen with my eyes?
If I began to move would you be offended?
If I began to point to what I wanted or intended?
If I began to feel pain would you pity or even care?
If I began to hear would you point to me and stare?
