One day I’ll write a novel

Why does everyone want to write a novel ?

Is everyone a hopeless, unfulfilled introvert

waiting to vanquish the burning insatiable

thirst for art that tortures their every morsel?

I thought it was only me

occupied by my quest

to one day not sit and watch

but leave my seat and dance

with my demons, taming them

with makeshift words-

placating the idle thoughtless self.

You mean to say this quest is not

just mine? You mean to tell me

that I am not unique

in my thirst to bleed

through generations, via words

cut by the blade of raw emotion

and stoked in the fires of passion?

I think this is a very cool poem.
Technically, it flows well. It has good bones.
I appreciate the topic. Artists inherently want to make a statement, to mean something, to be thought provoking. This pursuit in itself isn't unique, but it's the wellspring of experience and knowledge from which the artist derives his work, and the way the artist brings it all into manifestation . . . this is where we desperately desire to be unique. However, despite this being a common theme throughout your poem, there's humility seeping out between the seams. It's a nice juxtaposition.
These are the thoughts and feelings your poem inspired within me. I really enjoyed it.
