Prison of Silence

I used to have lots of tantrums. 

It is because I couldn’t communicate. 

It was very frustrating. 

I couldn’t talk, 

I couldn’t use sign language, 

I couldn’t use AAC. 

I felt trapped, 

I felt pain, 

I felt frustrated. 

I hit myself, 

I hit my family, 

I hit my friends.

After I use RPM, 

I am able to communicate. 

I am able to talk using the letterboard. 

I am free from the prison of silence. 

I am free to express myself.

Few people in the world understand 

what it is like to not have a voice. 

It is the most painful experience I have ever had.

I am happy that I can talk now. 

I want to help others.

Everyone deserves to communicate!
