The Man Who Wrote Only One Book

At first the book was praised by the critics

Slowly it gained popularity

Then it became a bestseller

And then phenomenal

And finally a classic

Followers flocked to see and hear from 

The person who wrote the book

They expected more and more like this work

But he was really obsessed with these praises

And this became a burden

He wanted to write but he feared

Days became dull and nights sleepless

He became more reclusive

Withdrew from all gatherings

He began to think he is an imposter

One day he disappeared from the searching eyes

And roamed around incognito

But the people continued their search for him

And he was regarded as the man who wrote only one book
