Freedom of Language
The vehicle for our thoughts
These ideas forever floating around my mind
Distorted by the lack of expression
Essence of words formed with no language
Stuck between two routes
The first immature, not able to perform
The second new, still developing its form
Unable to choose nor transform
Embryonic thoughts stunted, ungrown
Suspended
Between neurons forever lost…
-
Thoughts lost to a swarm of confusion
New terms and building blocks infusing
Seared in the mind
Imprinted into lines
Paving roads for the inclusion
of all thoughts flowing out of exclusion
No longer trapped
Limited by the lack of an outlet
A language mature enough and ripe with
Avenues to explore
And words galore
-
Words now catapult into existence
Free and happy to be of assistance
When expressing ideas in persistence
in my mind
No longer trapped and forgotten
Now that vehicles came trodden
on top of language
called grammar
and similes
and metaphors
and poetry.

I moved to the UK when I was around 12 years old, and had to learn a new language (Native language being Arabic), which was difficult and confusing for a while, but eventually it all turned out well.

Multi-lingual people are so cool, especially when they can put words into verses not in their native language. This one is great!
I admire people who can write in their second language. I still struggle with my first one, LOL 💙Anneliese

I am dissapointingly mono-linguistic, and I felt like this just gave me a little taste of frustration and flow in picking up a new language.

Love this! So insightful and poetic. Well done!
I loved the transformation through each stanza! Language is a powerful tool! Brilliant poem!
This was fantastic. I read it again out loud and it is very powerful.
The first immature, not able to perform The second new, still developing its form I related to this so much in regards to my Poetry writing! I’ve been studying new words recently and expanding my vocabulary to try to better express the ideas I have, because I feel very limited by the ‘immature’ language I have! So reading it with this perspective and relating on this kind of level I was so surprised by your authors note at the end 🕊️✨ That must have been so challenging to land in a new country / school/ language / culture at that age. I moved schools at 10 and that was hard enough without all of the extra pressures you had. (Although to be fair…in Scotland if you move 10 miles down the road you have a new language going on 😂😉)
