I often wonder if we're truly living or merely following the words of the majority, running blindly through life. I've always felt conflicted with the world and its unspoken rules. This collection of poems reflects my perspective on life-raw, questioning, and honest.
You don't need to succeed to truly live; sometimes, simply breathing is enough. I'm not saying you shouldn't chase success; I'm saying that before anything else, you must learn to live.
This is a journey of finding peace amidst the chaos, of learning to walk when the world demands you run, and of discovering life on your own terms.
