I Dream in English

I dream in English

Don’t laugh cos’ maybe you dream in some other language without even knowing it.
I dream in English, I think in English, hell I even start talking to my parents in English.
It’s all cool. But it gets messy cos’ sometimes I would need the subtitles just to check if the things I said were the things I heard.
I think in English. And my English thoughts are hurting me, killing me, so much that I have to put them on paper just to get rid of them.
I dream in English. How do I know it?
I sleep and suddenly an alarm on my boyfriend’s cell phone starts ringing in the middle of the night. Still determined to sleep I say: “fuckin’ phone I’ll break it into pieces.”
I take the mobile phone and turn off anything that could produce a noise. I try to go back to sleep but then it hits me: I too dream in English.
Funny for a person who loves her mother language and can make real effect on a reader only when she writes in that language. She sold her dreams, she dreams in English now.
Take my dreams, take my thoughts, but my poetry is my own.
