What you all tend to spectate is the ultimate phenomenon. However, from behind the scenes you get to see a completely different picture – the ground reality. It’s indeed like a realm of messy affairs – something that’s overshadowed by what’s attractively showcased to you! 

Most of you must’ve thought that a Poet’s greatest dilemma is to decide ‘What to write’. Well, that’s not the case. Rather, a Poet’s greatest dilemma encircles around ‘Why to write’. A cause or a story that Poets can personally relate to, is generally what keeps them engrossed in finding surprisingly fascinating ways to express their gloomy or blissful moments and reminiscences.

The greatest dilemma is followed by the dilemma of ‘How to write’ which irks the Poets. It’s very common to see a bunch of crumpled papers or a flurry of backspaces being a part of every Poet’s routine life. That’s because, in spite of already knowing ‘What to write’, their own predetermined standards get fulfilled only after constant and vigorous tries to achieve perfection.

Generally, Poets do not like the idea of expressing directly. Poets prefer to stay confined to their own comfort zones, while banking on the idea of how to express without really expressing! Before you get influenced by an assumed amount of vagueness, you might want to consider the fact that Poets refrain from opening-up to people. It's as if the poets have hidden chests of treasure buried deep down their souls. Instead of a mainstream and a straightforward approach, Poets fancy unique ways in order to reach out to the audience. Hence, it’s a perpetual challenge in itself for the Poets to come-up with something different, something incredible and something too good to be superfluous!
