A few things i want this accent to tell you

When my accent cannot say the things my words mean
Remember
I do no apologize for things i have no control over
I do not sink into hiding my own identity
Because the clicks in my own tongue
Do not agree to playing hide and seek
My voice was not meant for this
to insist on walking through life quietly
My voice,my voice has always been a thunderclap
causing storms in unsettled men
men who cant fathom that we all
have
accents
