Description of the Book:
This book is the result of years of perpetual work. What began as a hobby became a source of comfort that I often visited to find meaning in the unreasonable despairs of life and loneliness. I was in a dark place when I first began writing poems. Gradually this hobby became a big compilation of intimate writings, some of which are handpicked in this book.
I still remember the dark place I was in when I first began to put pen to paper, seeking refuge in the cathartic act of writing. Each poem became a beacon of light in the darkness, a glimmer of hope in a world shrouded in shadows. Over time, this hobby transformed into something greater—a profound exploration of the soul, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
As the years passed, the pages of my book were filled with intimate reflections, raw emotions, and whispered confessions. Some poems were written in moments of wonder while others emerged from the depths of despair. Each word, each line, was a fragment of my truth, a piece of my heart laid bare on the page.
