I rented my mouth to a language that is obsessed with papers
I twist my tongue to accommodate its sharp edges
It is constantly demanding flexibility, banging on my vocal cords for
perfect tightening
and stretching my throat to create more space.
More space to convert my brain cells into currencies
My eyes to induce its ability to see more white than black, brown or any
other colour
My ears to distinctly listen to bass tones and deafen the high-pitched tones
My feet to march towards a skin that does not resemble mine
It has infiltrated my entire system destroying threads of the rich melanin
that is inherent in me.
My name is spelled from the papers I have scraped for,
each has a detailed portion of respect that should be passed my way
I cling to the remnants of myself that isn't scattered papers
I cling on,
although I know that practice leads to fluency
Eventually I will become monolingual, articulate and excelling at being
flakey, weightless, disposable piece of paper.
