I Battle With Englsih

I battle with English They often ask as me where I'm from I reply, "not from the English" I live with in the west with my mom No siblings no pet just books to read I read grandfathers books, in my language In English I know the little I need I always carry my books in my luggage I travel to the east the west I find it hard to co-mmuni-cate The big words won't let me rest They say I'm doing awful at this rate I tell them that I'm not English I see spelling errors when I type com-pu-ter helps me with my English It's a disaster when I have to Skype But I am who I am I can't speak Spanish, Venda or Punjabi A failure is not who I am Just not afraid to admit I battle with English
