In any era, the quest has always continued. Every individual has been searching for something. The search is not only limited to science, but also to words, language, and transformation. There are millions of possibilities in which humans constantly search. With time, our lifestyles have changed, and the meaning of relationships has evolved. Those who were once marginalized by society, later, society itself adopted their ideas, things, and ways of life. One thing we were taught was that education means earning wealth. From where I stand, there is a significant lack of education in society. We have come to believe that books are the sole definition of education.
As I progressed from school to college to university, the pressure from family and society increased, and my self-belief started to wane. I found myself struggling, fighting with my own thoughts and beliefs. My battle has always been with myself. When I observed the mindset of society, it saddened me. Though I couldn't change it, a few words began to swirl in my mind. Before I knew it, I started connecting these words, and those suppressed words transformed into poetry.
I don't know how readers will perceive my poetry collection, but one thing is certain: the poems I have written tell a story.
