"Best of Both Worlds"

Location

When you see me, 
Am I invisible?
What am I?

You conversate to me like you know me.
But do you know?

Nobody can have a decent conversation with me, 
I go "huh" and "what",
I know I'm a bit insane and deaf,
But doesn't mean I should be cut out of one world. 

There is two types of worlds,
Deaf and the other one which is very common,
The hearing world.

These worlds are difficult to stay alive in.
" Best of both Worlds," muttered. 

It's not the "Best of both Worlds," 
More like choice! 
But when you can't choose both Worlds,
What happened??

To this place where we all accept each other.
Assuming that we (as humans) could never get along with each and every body!,
What CAN we do? 
Start getting along? 
Appreciating everything and everybody, wouldn't that be the world. 

Deafness and Hearing are completely different Worlds,
Hearing they speak, we (as deaf people) sign,
American Sign Language is the language,

I was born deaf,
I am not deaf and dumb,
Nobody is dumb even if you're hearing or deaf. 

I lived and still living through a life that is challenging,
Living through Both Worlds is not what you should beg for. 
Nobody begs for things to damage them or alter their life forever. 

When can it be the "Best of Both Worlds?"
