Great poem! I've learned ASL and am taking classes (although I'm not deaf). Great poem I liked how you used the names "Lonely-and-Depressed" and "Popular-and-Happy". Creative, I should do that. Good work.

awwww....how sweet :) I'm glad that "he" made a friend! I think that people can be so horrible at times...makes you just wanna thump some sense into them!!
I think that told a story and you didn't "reach" as deeply inside of you to write this...but you still did good :)
I like your work Will! :P

deaf rocks!

this is very sweet

Once again deafguy, you have written something that is so true to life. A call to the awareness that there is hope in every situation and that how we treat others can literally change their lives and HOW OTHER PERCEIVE THEM as well. Very good.

what can i say to this??
was a great poem, was glad to see eveything was ok in the end

Uuummm, hey man this sounded more like a story parents tell their children more than poetry..

awwww that's such a sweet poem i love it

errrgh! i think this poem is lame... what was i thinking! anyway you know what it is about so im not going to even bother what it is...
*laughs bitterly*
wanna know the irony? at least that guy in the poem was happy and found a best friend... i didnt have a happy ending... what a stupid world... i wrote the poem at the time that i had a best friend but now.... :(
