Foreign language

It was my native tongue in every sense

I was expert in it's complex grammar even

When did my mother tongue became foreign

It is stressful now I have to learn it like a toddler

Language is language only physique claims few decades

What must burn should be the ambers of died spirit

Yes for a new fire and for a new smoke

It should stand high until you die may be after even

i think this not only deals with losing our native language, but also losing ourselves in what we become to please others---the more we give, the more we lose pieces of who we are...
it's a sacrifice, but an unselfish one.
