Why Poets are Often Labeled as "Suffering"

I love poetry but there are moments when I intentionally take a respite from it, to be temporarily detached. Because frankly speaking, poetry can become too unbearable.

Why?

It's because when you're writing a prose, it's like exposing and baring your soul inside out. But when you're writing a piece of poetry, it's like taking your soul out of its life system and ripping it piece by piece, fragment by fragment---sometimes at an instant, but most of the time, gradually.

That's why.
