i wonder if im writing myself in or out of existence with every breath of thought that spills ink on paper. i may write myself into existence through my poetry, but every bird has the sky as their limit. and if all that's left of me are these words, then i am writing my own cage. would it be true to everything i am and am not? would it fit in there? probably not. ultimately, there is only so many dimensions of my wordy box that my real self can fit into. so i suppose that at the end of the day, the aim is to either expand my horizons to the point where it turns into a little universe where birds wouldn't need air to fly, or for me to impossibly squeeze all the nuances that come with being inherently human in the box. and since the time i have is so short in the larger picture, i might as well spend this lifetime at least trying to make this cage a little less cramped, or die trying.

@Sahilvd237 Because even our opinion of how we want to be perceived changes But now that this topic has sown, I feel the need to dig deeper gain more clarity on the nature of existence so as to able to put things more simply and clearly.

@Sahilvd237 @eternal_solace when I speak of a ripple due to another existence, i mean that we (as a human existence) are affected by another existence which could be anything, not necessarily a human being. What I observe is the interconnectedness of this world. And as long as there is something or someone apart from us, it will affect us in one way or the other. Abt the 3rd stanza, it's a more deeper topic I would say. I believe that we r a complete existence in ourselves. Emotions are like ripples to us. So if u ripple in a certain way u feel a certain emotion. So it's a law of universe. The complications are another matter here. Would love to discuss because I haven't went deeper than this. The need to express arises simply because of the ripples. And the fact that there are ripples simply means we are not yet aware of the perfectness of our existence. In whatever we do, may it be writing or art or dance or whatever, our existence can't help but express itself, irrespective of the explicitness or implicitness expressed medium (vocabulary in this case). What I mean here is whatever we do will carry a part of us, at that particular moment of time, in whatever state it is + a perfection which kind of leaks away unbeknownst to us. When an expanded existence, which might be us at a future time, comes across the same, they can feel it. E.g it might have happened that we r just doing something casually or just for fun, but another person notices something, may be a single sentence we composed, and tells us that,...dude you seem to have a potential. Another example, when I read your works I could feel the emotion or intensity...for instance, in the "saint" poem which I read recently. But I could feel it because let's say we have accessed that part of existence which could make us feel and understand and interpret. So the accuracy depends on how expanded is the reader. It would be wrong to conclude if we r more of us today than later.
