Just mi feah

I was thinking that the voice I now speak with is not my real voice.I have just read that I am using ” eye dialect” when I misspell words to make them sound like they do in my childhood dialect.

Outside owa house ‘t new umbrellas drip
~Wun is red and wun is pretty beige
They’re wa sunshades, t’weather’s hit a blip

If A wer a child A’d sail a ship
‘u stamp in pools u’ water in mi rage
Outside owa house,’t new umbrellas drip

Times there were Mam’s moods ‘d got a grip
Then it wu quite ‘ard t’ re-engage
Hide owa sunshades,mother’s ‘it a blip

Mam wer clever but she lost her top
The hint of h’ mad sayings had no gauge
Outside owa house ,’t new umbrellas drip

Nuns told me off for speaking in my voice
To get to Oxford, I must Me erase
Now I am a foreigner down here
No self, no mam, no sisters,just mi feah
