To Be Deaf
I am one of the few
Who would rather be blind than deaf.
Sight is nice;
I would rather keep it;
But if it came down to it,
I would rather keep my hearing.
Sight is great,
But I've seen the world.
There's always just memories.
But music is endless.
New music and old music,
They come all the time.
Music is more important to me
Than seeing with my own eyes.
Being deaf would be horrible.
To scream and hear nothing is terrible,
To cry and make no sound,
It's something I find worse than
Not being able to see.
I would much rather hear than see.
Take my sight,
Let me keep my ears;
My music is mine to cherish.
