Elham:

You are Iranian but your English is a lot of things.
It wants to be American and some of the time British and now it does not know what it is.
When I speak English, I know
I will always be
stranger.
Okay I know what I sound like. I hear my voice too.
But I am hearing myself.
I hear myself very loud.
I am hearing my sister and traffic in the morning and my chemistry teacher from in the high school.
I hear my home.
What do you hear?
