(Silent voices) (By Anna Cheng)
deaf i have always watched people walking by me, without saying hello i wonder, am i invisible? i have always wondered what was differentabout me i have always watched those girls on the picnic benches near me, just a few tables over and wondered, what makes them popular? are they better than me? why do they act that way? andi have always heard the word or maybe two, whispered behind my back, in different variations, deaf. hearing impaired. and first graders have always asked me the question. what's on your ear? what's that thing? are you a robot? i am not a robot. i am human, i tell them. the thing on my ear is a cochlear implant. what does it do? were you born like that? they ask. i just smile. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1pQYRojlcpB

LISTEN Listen to the musn'ts, Child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts And all the impossibles, and the won'ts. And then Just listen To the never haves, Then listen closely to me. Anything can happen, Child. Anything is possible. For anything can BE.

IMAGINE Our brain is a special place within our minds. We can Imagine Anything, anyplace, Imagine A void Bigger than millions of miles of endless space To create things and dream. Imagine if we couldn't do that. Imagine what the world Would be like. If we had no imagination What would happen? Would we go insane? I think we Would just Fade away. Be gone. Lose something special that was inside of us. So create New things, creatures, dreams, Ideas Thoughts, drawings, and things Hold it close. Keep it alive. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ZglwbXldXc

FLYING To fly is to be. To fly is to be free. To fly, is a dream. To dream, is to do anything. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0JSxUzZsyJ0
