I’ve learnt new languages that I can’t speak

I would express in gestures,

but not loud enough for you to depict

the meaning, I’m trying to communicate

For I will always turn out to being a freak

 

I hate it that am not eloquent with ma mouth yet my brain is fluent its sentences at peak

I wanna express me in a way that i won’t be shy even at the break of my sentiments

I won’t be judged as weak

 

I want to be heard

Though voiceless for I won’t speak

When am wrong I’ll always be sorry,

I’ll show my regret on my actions and I’ll try as hard as I can to mend the situation

A call for forgiveness from what I did

 

I’ll try being there when needed

But seated on the minor seats

The ones termed as small efforts seeded

For are the ones that means the most to me

 

I wanna be kind but not in huge margins that I can’t reach

I’ll always be there even if my effort ain’t felt

For that’s what a need when I’m also in vain

 

It’s hard, I know but that’s just being real

And I love it coz that’s me

 

I’ll get the cheap gifts

On your special days, I know you’ll abandon them

For they may mean less from what your other friends would get

And am ain’t mad, for everyone cherishes what’s best

But, I just want you to see my act of love though I didn’t meet the standard set

 

I’ll always celebrate you in your wins

And pray for new doors to unlock your dreams

When we together I’ll show you there is more you can do

To be happy with yourself

 

And love, forgiveness,

kindness and appreciation

are the new languages I’ve learnt yet I can’t speak
