Shouted whispers

When speaking

to myself

A mumble

to excited trills

Those in earshot

Listen

The softest

Slyest whispers

Are often overheard

I trip all over

my words

Typographical errors

Exist in my speech

Nasally & cracked

My laugh is genuine

With a giggle snort

And obnoxiously loud

As are my sobs

Slowly I speak

To avoid accents

Yet

Piss me off

All R's drop

You'll know

Where I'm from
