I haven't written spoken in so long it's like my head is floating on onto a different rainbow, but hey though my Amiga echo is back again and my friend I have a simple question As a lovely young woman who is deaf can you shake away any misconceptions?

Fo sho my amigo, all I can say is, deaf can, deaf can, there was a time I was language deficient, now no longer, though there's only one word not in my vocabulary, is that deaf can't deaf can't yo
Nice

if I choose to have can't in my vocabulary I've lost the war against myself, and next thing you know I'm just another disabled lady working in a grocery store
I gotta be me, how can I let myself down by letting just one word creep in, I ain't that lady, I know because I don't wanna be, a mail carrier maybe but I gotta want it, I gotta know what I wanna be and let that be my dream

there ain't no other answer, i gotta face it, just like people asking about sign language, sure it's beautiful but it's just a language, it's a part of me i can't unsee, is it easy well it's all i know and what makes sense to me, it flows from my hands easy as abc's and 123's, elementary my dear watson of course it is, elementary, my dear friend, now go practice it
thats a beautiful way to put it, shutting it down like jay-z did on the blueprint, thank you miss Radner for your time and rhythmic rhyme, now lets go put those outdated misconceptions to rest because although some see epilepsy and deafness as curses, secretly we're blessed

yeah, blessed because we know he truth, discrimination ***** but ignorance ***** more, you gotta keep your mind open and lend your hearts to others cuz ya know though we may act different we all feel the same and what we feel is lonely and hurt and that gotta end, will it be you my friend?
