We cannot hear anything at all,
Because we are deaf.

Cannot hear voices,
We only see their mouths moving.

Cannot hear our own voices,
We only feel it in our throats.

Cannot hear laughter,
We only see it in their faces.

Cannot hear the sound of playing,
We only see other people play.

Cannot hear the screams,
We only see their mouths open
or the startled reactions of people around them.

Cannot hear weeping,
We only see their tearstained cheeks.

Cannot hear the scolding,
We only see it in their scowling faces
and fingers shaking up and down in our faces.
