Be my fuel, my source of comfort,
But don't hurt me.
Be my light,
But don't leave me in the dark.
Be my battery,
But don't die on me.
Be my warmth,
But don't suffocate me.
Be my veins, but don't burst.
Be my ink, but don't blot.
Be my music, but don't end.

*Be my heart, and please, don't break.
Its not me I'm worried about, it's you. Don't bleed again, please.

Let's go on a road trip
and make your body my
map. Explore every mark
on your skin before i turn
the keys in the ignition of
your car and drive far. Let's
dance with our pants off for
fun you can even undo my bra.
Twist and twirl under
the heat of the sun. Sway
with me in front of ocean
bays or chase me in a garden
maze. Then go out for a pizza and beer.Have baby moons
for dinner with me and teach
me Jagger's dance moves
while we sip our wine from
these twisted vines. Cover
my behind in pizza dough then
go out and make angels in
the snow. Drench me in ice-
cream then ill watch you
become indecisive as you
stand in front of me not
knowing where to begin
licking it off my skin or where
to sin. Hold my hand and
roll down hills and skip the
talking about our bills for
a day. Let's stay in and play
with each other maybe even
kiss under the covers while
we listen to Mozart play his
violin. Let's chase bunnies
when the sunsets in the
meadows and cover our selves
with tiny shiny red bows. Let's
tangle our limbs when its after
dawn and exchange delicate
kisses on one other starting
from the head and ending at the
toes. Let's name the stars together under the dark night sky before
we make passionate love then
zone off and dream of getting
high , mermaids and astronauts
in outer space.Let's eat peanut
butter and jelly and show off
our bellies. Let's do everything together. Hand in hand we'll
find the courage to do all these
plans. Let's be free you and
me for an eternity* ~

It’s not easy when I was five
It’s not easy to grasp everything
Learning these new ‘signs’
So others would empathize
Demoralized only to be scrutinized
Wondering why they always laughed
I never knew how it sounds like
But it hurts me deep inside

It’s not easy when I was ten
They wrote on the board
How I always pretend
I keep smiling despite everything
I did pretend
Pretending tomorrow
Everything will end

It’s not easy when I was fifteen
Almost everyone doesn't comprehend
These hands I use to eat & speak
I can read their lips saying,
"FREAK, FREAK, FREAK!!!"
But this time I didn't pretend
Mama always told me before she left
"Your voice is louder than the rest!"

It’s easier now that I’m twenty
It actually gets better if I believe
I found true friends along the way
They get furious if I get played
Diminishing negative thoughts to dust
I know now life has its eminence
There are more others like me

What my mama meant before she left
Help those who are in need
Especially to those who are-
*Special like me.
(I didnt expect it to get featured as the daily poem! I'm so happy I get to share this message with everyone. A better understanding to these gifted individuals:) And if u have a friend who's deaf or learning ASL. Let them read this:)
And once again. Thank you so much To everyone who liked and comment!)
Give your love.
Even if you're the one being received.
I just had to write about this.
And i don't see it as a disability,
I see it as a gift.
(Dedicated to this young girl i saw in the train helping a guy in a wheelchair. She was showing directions! I stood there appalled in awe)
P.S: I need a suggestion whether to name this title 'Gift' or 'Hand Signs'??
I think both stood out.
Comment below.
And I also would like you guys to check out this website.
If you buy their headphones you would be giving hearing aids for the   less fortunate.

And I'm not sponsored to do this. I just want to make a change and help to raise awareness:)
If you can help them, please do.:)

Love her like
She's the raging sea,
Unrestrained and dark and deep.
And you crave her touch
Through aching pores
As you slowly drown in sleep.

Love her like
She's the tender storm,
A lovely shade of grey.
Like with every whiff
Of breath she takes,
She's taking yours away.

Love her like
She's the silent clouds
With calmness floating by.
Like you'd want to make
Sweet love to her
Under the moon's apocalyptic eye.

Love her like
She's the blazing fire,
And you lust the candied pain.
Like she's the disease
That swallowed you whole
And you'd like to die again.

When her gentle touch
Makes your chest explode,
And your addiction is your girl.
Promise you'll love her
Through hell and back,
Or don't you dare love her at all.
