Native Language

My native language is not poetry
It is not the tongue I was born into
Not the tongue I learnt to speak and think into-
No. My native language is not just spoken in words
Nothing avails me the pitfalls of my native language
The language of the mind.
My native language is the combination of what fits me:
Emotions, words, song lyrics
Crazy cartoons and heartfelt videos--
My native language is the world at large
That's why
Grammar or punctuation just polish, not govern my speech.
