The Real Me (True poem)

I look around me
Only if I could hear
What they were saying
I hide in fear

Fear of being reject
But I know
And what to expect
Hopefully I can cope

With my hearing disability
Hoping people won't tease
That I cannot speak
But only with my hands

But this is the real me
My life, I choose to stand
Yes, I am deaf
And there's no regret

This is the real me
Go ahead if you wanna tease
At least I still can speak
But with my own hands

(I have grew up deaf, expecting the expected, people teased me for it but then eventually I ingored it and be who I really was.. being deaf.. heck Im proud of it)

    One mistake in this "Only if I could hear"
    I'd change it too "If only i could hear"
    Other then that im glad your proud of who you are and so you should be your no different to anyone else in this cruel world. Good on you for writing this well done ~mel
