I was born as deaf and as quiet as a starfish,

but if I had been born a man,

I would pray to the Lord above every night,

at the top of my fucking lungs just to thank him

for giving me voice.

Absolutely brilliant.

"last night i dreamt i was little again

i could hear back then

but the silence in my house

was deafening"

that has to be one of the most intriguing things ive ever heard

[thelovelysilverfisch]

Actually, I take that back... I just tried them, and they are completely incorrect. :/

There are subtitles! At the bottom right of the screen were it says "CC," you can select subtitles. :)

I have probably watched this 20 times over the last few years and I weep every time.

[Livve Dae]

No words. I'm out. No need for words anyway, for a def jam.

[IMightBeAnActivist]
