Who Is a Poet

a poet is one who writes verses

and one who does not write verses

a poet is one who throws off fetters

and one who puts fetters on himself

a poet is one who believes

and one who cannot bring himself to believe

a poet is one who has told lies

and one who has been told lies

one who has been inclined to fall

and one who raises himself

a poet is one who tries to leave

and one who cannot leave
