Spanglish
October 28, 2021
I was 5 years old
A chiquilla in a apartment
My mom, dad, and sister with me
Mi lenguage: español
Algo que me enorgullece
I thirst for the language that is mine
But I am slowly drifting away from it
Hovering under me
Like a safety net
Yet it feels like I'm going to fall
Spanglish a language only i seem to know
A frase as simple as watch out
Turns into wachale
Amoble mis dos idiomas para hacer un lenguaje nuevo
Don't know if this is good or bad.
At least I this makes my identity

This poem is about how I am loosing my spanish. Spanglish is a "language" that I use a lot. It is a combination of spanish and english. It has become a part of me now. Like I say in the poem i dont know if this is good or bad because I am not speaking compleatly in one language.
