To You

To Anyone Who Thinks,

I know what goes through your head. I know what you think. I may not hear your voice, but I know your thoughts.

I may see people who aren't there, and they may tell me things I do not wish to know, but I never hear them.

Your thoughts, however, I hear them loud and clear.

You think of how weird I am.

You think I'm a freak.

What if I'm not the freak, but every one of you are freaks.

You move your mouth.

I hear no words.

You think a thought.

I hear those words.

I wish I knew what you said to me when your lips were moving.

I only understand what you say with your hands.

I hear your thoughts, but I don't hear your voice.

It's like hearing only the honesty a person says.

You can lie with your voice.

You can lie with you hands.

But you cannot lie with your thoughts.

Best wishes,

The Deaf Girl
