I smile like I can understand
But my mind reminds me I can’t
My ears drop words like slippery hands
Trying to hold on
I listen hard to what you say
And in my head I will translate
I might respond the wrong way
Forgive me, I’m still learning
I panic ‘cause I missed a phrase
Like you can see right through me
I listen hard to what you say
Each word begins to sound the same
The sounds, the words, the goddamn shame
Forgive me, I'm complaining
I wonder where you put the blame
Cause I always put it on me
I smile like I can understand
But my mind reminds me I can’t
They taught me it’s not of this land
Forgive me I’m unlearning the practice
Of self-blaming habits
