The Story of my life
“It’s been a really great experience”
The day when I was born,
Into this beautiful world,
Full of sounds, music and voices,
I could hear, I could cry….
And I could smile,
To my proud Mum and Dad,
A year or two flew by,
I grew up living a normal life,
Like any other child….
I talked, I laughed and I sang,
And played, full of mischievous fun.
Time and time passed,
A very sad thing happened,
In my life,
I was knocked down,
My ears bled and bled,
Like a heavy down-pour…
Oh, what a painful memory,
I became so quiet,
No sound of birds singing,
No music played,
And no a very special voices.
Day by day,
Year by year,
Time went by so swiftly,
How miserable I had felt,
Growing up in this silent world,
that nobody knew.
Even though I’d been living,
In this world void of sound,
I still couldn’t bear,
All the fun and jokes,
And when people began to laughed at…
what I was trying to say???
My heart hurt and grieved,
And felt so desperate,
With nobody to turn to…
To share my sorrow and to cheer my heart,
I walked away and noded my head,
Cheering my wounded heart alone….
When I could hear?
That’s all I could hope….
With hearing aid, I could hear,
To have it back again,
Oh, how nice to hear,
A beautiful music and sound…
All I needed was no sympathy,
Mercy and help.
For me, living in this world,
I needed love too.
I’d prove that i was like
another human being too.
To you dear friend,
No matter kind or poor,
No matter kind or bad,
So, please understand,
I’m aware of my deafness,
So ,don’t look down on me,
Give me more chances.
I need your friendship and understanding,
To live peacefully in this silent world….
