It's my passion to write poetry. After a long time, I have made up mymind to share and spread my piece of art with other readers since ittouches my heart to be able to connect with people across the worldthrough the complex human emotions that bind us together.Also, the subject of my work deals with topics that may be consideredtaboo, such as the matter of sex and the way society tries to suppressthe real feelings of an individual personality.Moreover, the concerns highlighted through the poems also includediscrimination and exploitation on the basis of gender such asblackmailing gullible and naïve women through digital dating apps, byexposing their intimate moments on the internet.More abhorrent, unvoiced but still rampant themes such as child sexualabuse and the vicious repercussions that they leave on the victim havealso been stated in a downright, distinct manner, so that the readermay become aware of the circumstances by which the victim becomesreluctant to name the exact nature of wrongs that have beencommitted against her/him, perhaps because the culprit might besomeone known and close.Besides, the pain, shame and the misery that he/she undergoes, andmight have to live with all his/her life, without having someone toconfide to has been depicted with the necessary despair and anguish.Instead of name shaming and questioning the victim itself, I have triedto plead the audience to be more empathetic and supportive in orderto minimize their plight.Also, as a recovering addict, I have tried to portray the road to sobrietyas clearly as possible, thereby clearing common misconceptions thatstill lie deep seeded within the minds of the common man. Most peopleare not aware of the pain and dark emotions that propel the addict intotaking narcotics to deal with the same.I have also made clear how the society is also responsible, to a certainextent, in aiding the problems of the addict by constant name shamingand the propagation of guilt and shame. All this, for a disease that canimpact any one's life; a disease about which they don't have a choice.On the other hand, it's not just the so called "grim and dark" issues thathave been covered within the ambit of the stoems. You shall find plentyof stoems covering sexuality and intimacy with a tinge of humor andsarcasm, the main context being how the physical part of the relationacts as a critical foundation for a better, meaningful bond.All through the stoems, I have been bold and emphatic in dealing withvarious different genres which cannot be necessarily boxed into a one-size-fits-all category. The tone is vigorous and undeniably insistent onbeing real and honest so that we can become more open minded aboutissues that need to be brought from the backburner into the limelightsimply because they are an essential component of life, without whichlife would be empty and meaningless.I expect people to be able to enjoy their real desires without beingsubjected to ill will and demonization. I hope all readers can savor mywriting with a pinch of salt, and be able to express the same with a zealand enthusiasm that never fails to leave one surprised.After all, being bold is being beautiful.
