[caption id="attachment_100289" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Courtersy of thismustbe.wordpress.com"][/caption] English is my foreign language But I’m not dumb I’m not an expert in its usage But I can use it to plumb the conventions of its use and usage
You asked me, “Did you cite?”
What a dumb question
Of course, I’m no stranger to citation
How come you underestimate
ME
Just because of my position
as an international student
English is my foreign language
But just because I don’t use the vernacular
Doesn’t mean I’m not familiar
With the peculiar
Even with the ultra-familiar
English is my foreign language
But just because I don’t share the same sense of meaning
Doesn’t mean I’m demeaning
You may think of me as the duckling
But I’m growing
I’m learning with the swing
Expanding my wing
To the edge of reasoning
Till the moment of dying
creeping
approaching
you'll still find me on my bed, dying whilst learning
