"Man-A Reflection of Humanity" by poet and philosopher Umanath Kattel is a deeply evocative poem that explores the struggles, sacrifices, and silent endurance of men in a world that often denies their vulnerabilities. With powerful imagery and rhythmic depth, the poem challenges societal stereotypes, shedding light on the emotional repression men face while fulfilling expectations of strength and resilience. It unveils the hidden pain, selflessness, and humanity within men, urging readers to empathize and recognize their shared human essence. Profoundly moving, Kattel's work resonates universally, reminding us that beneath the labels, we are all human-fragile, striving, and alike.
"Can you hear me?" she asked. No one answered.
"I'm right here." Silence. Not even a glance.
She swallowed hard. "Do I even exist to you?"
The room buzzed with voices, laughter, conversations weaving around her, but not with her.
"Say something. Anything."
Nothing.
She let out a shaky breath. "Maybe if I disappear, you'll finally notice."
Silence again.
"Left Unseen" is the story of those unheard, unnoticed-of voices lost in the noise, of people who feel invisible even in a crowded room. If you've ever felt this way, this book is for you.
