Self-Discovery of a Late-Deafened Individual

Self-Discovery of a Late-Deafened Individual

I read and study Psychology
Sometimes it gets a bit lonely
Attending a Deaf University
There's been a lot of self-discovery
I completely accept this silent journey.

Hands flying in the air wildly
Expressions on faces I understand so clearly
I hold this Deaf University to my heart dearly
Couples embrace each other closely
Friends gather around I feel understood totally.

Most Professors sign and teach passionately
I feel as though they take me seriously
Notebooks and Psychology textbooks, so heavy
Yet I still manage to carry my Staruck's coffee
Sometimes the road to success can be lonely.

I can't wait to graduate proudly
I'll move on to Grad School nervously
Yet I'll let my light shine brightly
My hands flying in the air wildly
Expressions on my face we understand so clearly.

Now a Deaf individual with substance, definitely
Ready to take on the world courageously.
