Brave (A poetry collection)

When you ask me why I write poetry

Writing poetry is like an affair of the heart
with the conscious mind,
Cacophony of thoughts and emotions in my head
quieten as the rhyme weaves stanzas,
when the last of the ink is spilled,
the rumble in my chest and the lump in my throat
subsides leaving my heart brimming in elation
so when you ask me why I write poetry,
I'll tell you that this is more of a ritual
a revelation of my truest self
reminding the world that I'll always be
unapologetically myself,

poetry is my voice,
that nothing on earth can silence
and I'll roar louder for the ones,
who tell me that I feel too much.

I present to you "Brave"

A/N :
Hello! Thank you for choosing to read my book. I'm grateful. "Brave" is going to be my first ever poetry collection, I really hope I could publish this someday. This book will be a compilation of reflective poems that I wrote in my darkest moments to keep myself going. This book will talk about my everyday battle with inferiority complex, fighting my inner enemy trying to find my place in this big world. I've made progress but not quite yet reached the destination. I'm still learning, relearning and unlearning in order to become the woman of my dreams. And I wish to help others who suffer with negative self talk, people out there just like me :p

Do join me on my journey! Add this book to your reading lists and library to receive notifications whenever I post.

P.S: I'm just an 18 year old, still exploring new poetry forms and trying to improve my writing skills, any form of criticism will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Happy reading :D
