"While there is pain; there is poetry. While there is love; there is poetry. While there is life; there is poetry."The heart and the mind are both involved in the action of writing. When a line is written, it implies that efforts have been made... when a line is written, it implies that emotions and feelings have been so intense that nothing could have been able to 'bring relief' apart from the necessity of translating emotions into words. Writing becomes thus an obligation and a must as long as the need for an "auto-therapy" is required. Sometimes, the words succeed in portraying the internal architecture of an incomprehensible emotion and at other times; they remain at the surface level and fail to give a definite explanation of what the writer/poet really 'wants' to convey. It is true that every line has an explanation but it is also true that every written text has its own secret. This is why not every text could be easily 'clarified'. The author could reveal what is implicit; in fact he is the only one who could clarify the blur which is stretching itself between the lines. However, a text becomes the belonging of the reader as soon as the writer finishes his work. Most of the time, I feel like writing; you know! That need to express what the heart feels and what the mind is preoccupied with. This is my therapy; I always resort to writing. The pen and the paper are essential elements in my world. However, sometimes, it becomes a hard task as you simply just "can't find the words!" This "momentary" lack of inspiration is a very painful one. It is painful in the sense that the process by which your diction fights its way through your internal wounds - in order to express all those intermingled feelings and emotions - is synonym of constant pain."I feel what I write and I write what I feel". How often are we able to express what we feel accurately? Does the chosen word really express what we feel?
