I am different
I may not hear like you
But I can still listen
My gesturess talk for me
But they’re quiet
My conversations are silent
As your world drowns in its own chatter
I listen
With my heart
I feel what is said to me
I listen
Watching your lips
I read your words
That speak to me
I listen
With my touch
I feel the warmth
You have for me
I listen
With my eyes
I see the human
In the person
Across from me
My world is different
Yet, I’m like you
But more resilient
My challenges are unique
But I conquer them
My creator bestowed on me
The unique skills
To complete my world
That make me special !!!
I am different
I may not hear like you
But I can still listen
