Cursive Flow

Cursive lines don’t always flow the same, 
this sometimes brings a hiccup or hitch.
There are other ways to spell my name.

The sound’s like a sick and twisted game,
I have come to loathe this sudden switch.
Cursive lines don’t always flow the same.

When I begin to feel like placing blame
it tends to come off as a technical glitch.
There are other ways to spell my name.

A few of the letters just miss the aim,
phonetics lend a smeared apart pitch.
Cursive lines don’t always flow the same.

When I find an error I want to proclaim
‘I’m so sorry but I’m a bit more niche.
There are other ways to spell my name.’

Any translation of a language will reclaim
the identity that I was brought up with. 
Cursive lines don’t always flow the same,
there are other ways to spell my name.
