Digitalk snubs her nose at her parents' rules and embraces non-conformity. Secretly, however, she simply wants to belong. She relishes her individual identity, yet she holds the community in her arms. She is a wave of contradiction. She is selective, yet unprejudiced, and she years for Code-Switching to embrace her. To be recognized by Language is her ultimate goal. For now she lives on the Digital Divide.
 * Digitalk**

Hides behind lace curtains Silent, still, scared to breathe. If she moves, draws attention, Makes herself visible, The flush and flood of terror And flashbacks of Worry Will set the clocks forward To her future Which flies low, close to the water, Hovering near the place between Flight and Flustered.
 * Anxiety**

Hunched, holding delicate threads, And peering through the half-inch glass That would shatter with the Tap of a finger, She looks without looking And hears her heart in her ears. She freezes and melts Simultaneously, Becoming Gelatenous statue. From the outside, She appears to be Curious, Shadow and Fearless, But from her place behind the curtain, She trembles and holds onto the Tatted loops, Knowing she will die or Escape into panic Which is on loan From those whose Windows are Not Covered.
