Has their voice ever been swallowed by fear? Do their ink-stained hands ever shake and their eyes well up with ardour as they put pen to paper? Meanwhile, I yearn for the identity of 'This Sublime Poet' I ask myself: Am I a poet yet? Or simply a writer? Or am I just someone who uses words to emote? Do my poems have an essence? A hidden interpretation derived by reading in between the lines? Or am I just one among countless others who hide behind the artificialities of language? Do I possess any substance or do I lack it? Am I the seed? Or the husk? Or am I the fruit? Albeit the one that falls to the ground, wasted?
