Pierre Francis - My life
My life in Thomas Tallis hás been enjoyable, fun and unbelievable at times. Even thou I have been through a mixture of times when it’s been easy, hard and very hard, which is the same for anyone.
But what makes it hard for me is the fact that I AM Deaf and I have a friend who is deaf.
We both find it hard to hear at times so we have a communication support worker who was sign for us, making life easier for my friend and I at times but sometimes we will just get on with what we have to, which make us two special.

Khia Aleshia Williams - Untitled
My name is Khia I can’t hear you
When you talk to me you got to talk little louder
Ten times one I am not dumb it just takes time to figure it out
It’s a new day every day changing my battery it is sometime annoying but I’m okay
Mix emotions everyday because people keep asking questions, I don’t know what they want me to say because deafness is a part of me
Time off school appointment all the time
This is long and overwhelming but I thank God I am alive

Mignone Aina - Just me, noone can change it
Today people can be nice about you being nice
Tomorrow people can be rude saying ‘you’re so deaf, you’re stupid’ blah blah but I don’t care what people say about me because I know I’m star but sometimes I do feel lonely, scared but most of time I feel confident for who I am and no one can’t change that, no matter how hard you try, you will never win by changing me so I’ll be in cloud 9 where you won be, I know who I am and you don’t . I’m deaf that’s me if you don’t like it, deal with it. So think before you say to a deaf person.

Holly Briggs - Awareness
Awareness is a part of being deaf,
Watching people laugh makes me smile
Aware of everything around me.
Reading lips and listening opens the world to me,
Everything is strong and clear.
Now you need to be aware that I am deaf
Everywhere, everyday, my deafness is around you.
Speak clearly, face me, treat me right,
So, be aware that I am deaf and I am proud of it.

Vanessa-Jhede Williams - Lonely being Deaf
Lonely by myself
Only deaf in my family
No one want to be my friend
Everyone stare at me
Love being deaf
Yet I am sitting by myself
Because I am lonely with no friend
Easy to see and hear everyone
In my eyes and ears
Nothing to do lonely again
Great to hear everything in my life, my implant is my hero
Deaf are very helpful to hear
Everything going to be fine
Also I don’t hate being deaf
Friends are little important, but most important to me being deaf

Jivani Premananthraj - Hate Deaf or not!
Deaf could be embarrassing
I feel worry being Deaf
I hate Deaf!
Some friend teasing us
Some family love us
Some implant always have a problem
Could be visiting hospital alway
Feel scary when you have
people stare you, make friendship
and talk about you, tell friend about
good story
In future you will make friends and
walk with them. If you don’t understand
them, ask again, write paper use sign
language and body language you will be better again.
You can cover implant in your hair or
hat no one will stare you again
your friend will understand your Deaf
hate Deaf or not!

I love being hard of hearing
I love wearing hearing aids
I wear wicked swagger hearing aids
They feel so comfortable
They feel smooth and spongy in my ears
When I don’t want to listen to people
I turn them off and nod my head
As if I’m listening
When I’m not
If people think that I’m a fool
Well then so are they
If people don’t like me cos of my hearing aids
Then that’s their problem
Because I’m not going to change for anyone
People are always surprise
When I talk to my firends
Like a normal person
When really I am just a normal person
I’s cool wearing hearing aids
Because I feel like myself
It’s annoying wearing radio aids
Because I feel like nothing
Like I’m a robot

Nadeem Islam - This is for my Dad
Standing on roof
Looking down to ground
I just wanna meet you
For once and all
I wanna feel your emotion
I wanna see the world
From up and all
My eyes are burning up
My heart is melting down
My body is shaking
My mind is bursting
My emotion is away...
This is for my Dad.

Nadeem Islam - Crayons
Crayons are the way to start your childhood
Crayon is the way to know how to do it
Crayon is a colourful way to start to understand happiness
But...
Crayons ran out and you play on your self
Crayon is turning white
It should be light
But someday, crayon is time to go and open your fist to see your sunshine
Do it happy or die it sad way

Nadeem Islam - Changing me
Sitting in middle, all alone
Cool air, sun shining and beautiful day
But is it?
I mean where does the smoke come from?
Also shattered glass on the ground?
I’m just dazed
People have hoods on while it sunny day
I have a hood
Hidden …
Dark …
Lost …
Wasting my time
I maybe can’t hear sound around this beautiful world
But I can feel it
I can feel homeless people
Gangs do horrible things to innocent people
I see people on the street
They don’t respect disability
If we see a pregnant women why can’t we give a bus seat to her?
Mothers angry with their kids
Because no one will stand by them
When I see youth I see murderers
I feel “Stop it!”
Just “Stop it!”
My head is mixed around.
Give something away…….
The tables might turn around and you find yourself
Sitting on the outside all alone
In cool air on a day where all imagination is gone
the colours of this beautiful world
are gone ……..
blank…………

William Everett - Being Deaf!
I feel proud Being Deaf because deaf people are very close and help each other.
It is challenging Being Deaf because I have to improve my speech all the time and communicate with hearing people.
It is confusing Being Deaf because when other people talk very fast I can’t understand them.
It feels awesome Being Deaf because I enjoy signing its more fun.
I feel happy Being Deaf because I like who I am.

Thomas Paull - Deaf and proud to be Deaf
Every day I play sports and I love sports but it is don’t matter if you are deaf. You still can be better than hearing people
Always hate my hearing aids
Forever forgetting to put hearing aids on
Never call a deaf person dumb
Everyone is different and no-one is dumb
Speak using my hands but I can also talk
Sign language is easier for me but I practise my speech in speech therapy

Being Deaf is so cool!!!
Every morning I put my hearing aids on.
I always go to deaf club.
Nothing wrong being deaf.
Great being deaf because sometimes I can have free entrance into car museums.
Deaf is the best!!!
Every deaf person is cool!!!
A deaf person just can’t hear well.
Forever being deaf…..is cool and I like it.

Being deaf is really tiring
Every day I have to listen carefully
It’s interesting reading different books in my house
Nothing is impossible

Always enjoy going to deaf club
Football is my favourite sport

Leon Du Plessis - Deafness
Deafness…
Every day you get better at using your own hearing
Aids
Feeling comfortable and happy
Noise is irritating on the busy roads
Every day my language gets better and better
Some people don’t have hearing aids, problem?
Some you can help with sign language

Being deaf is BRILLANT! I am proud to be deaf!
Excited to communicate with my friends,
In sign language.
No deaf person is stupid they just can’t hear well.
Go and learn sign language so you can talk to deaf people.

Everyone talks using sign language,
Also lipreading.

Christine Caldaralo - The Feelings Of A Deaf Person
Being deaf feels like natural to me
I am very confident even thought I am deaf
All my family are proud that
I have made the most of my deafness
Being deaf is hard work
But would I change it???
I really don’t know as
I do not know any different!!!
Every day I try not to get stressed and angry
While I tried to understand what they said
But it difficult for me
Because if someone talks to me very fast
It makes me confused and do not understand
Every night sometimes I’m scared
Because I feel like someone come closer to me
Like creeping like the floorboards are moving
Sometimes I feel strange
Because I feel so very different
Especially when around my hearing friends
Family and friends are important
To everyone and they are very proud of me
They care about me
I love being with my family and friends
