– Speak English!<\/p>\n

– I can’t!<\/p>\n

– You can, you do speak English!<\/p>\n

– Yes, but not in a poem.<\/p>\n

Not like that.<\/p>\n

Yes, I can understand concepts,<\/p>\n

I can formulate ideas,<\/p>\n

I can demonstrate something,<\/p>\n

I generally understand a lot of the texts.<\/p>\n

(though, paradoxically, not the poems\/songs)<\/p>\n

But writing things,<\/p>\n

Choosing the right word,<\/p>\n

Speaking in metaphors,<\/p>\n

Making connections,<\/p>\n

For all of those things, I’m much better in Romanian.<\/p>\n

While it is possible, to some degree, to write poems in English,<\/p>\n

They would be so much worse than those in Romanian.<\/p>\n

Even writing a normal article in English is a bit more difficult.<\/p>\n

Also, have a look at this poem – almost no emotion,<\/p>\n

It’s all thinking, logical, and rational.<\/p>\n

How could I ever have a loud and emotional argument in English?<\/p>\n

(when all English is about logical argument)<\/p>\n

– Write, and you’ll get better at it!<\/p>\n

– This is sound advice, and I’ll sleep on it,<\/p>\n

But, for now, I’ll write most of my poems in Romanian.<\/p>\n
