Thoughts of a Deaf Child

Thoughts of a Deaf Child
My family knew that I was deaf When I was only three, and since then fifteen years ago Have never signed to me. I know when I'm around the house, I try and use my voice. It makes them feel more comfortable For me, I have no choice. I try, communicate their way-- Uncomfortable for me. My parents wouldn't learn to sign Ashamed or apathy? I never cared about the sound of radios and bands; What hurts me is, I never heard My parents' signing hands.
