It's my passion to write poetry. After a long time, I have made up my
mind to share and spread my piece of art with other readers since it
touches my heart to be able to connect with people across the world
through the complex human emotions that bind us together.
Also, the subject of my work deals with topics that may be considered
taboo, such as the matter of sex and the way society tries to suppress
the real feelings of an individual personality.
Moreover, the concerns highlighted through the poems also include
discrimination and exploitation on the basis of gender such as
blackmailing gullible and naïve women through digital dating apps, by
exposing their intimate moments on the internet.
More abhorrent, unvoiced but still rampant themes such as child sexual
abuse and the vicious repercussions that they leave on the victim have
also been stated in a downright, distinct manner, so that the reader
may become aware of the circumstances by which the victim becomes
reluctant to name the exact nature of wrongs that have been
committed against her/him, perhaps because the culprit might be
someone known and close.
Besides, the pain, shame and the misery that he/she undergoes, and
might have to live with all his/her life, without having someone to
confide to has been depicted with the necessary despair and anguish.
Instead of name shaming and questioning the victim itself, I have tried
to plead the audience to be more empathetic and supportive in order
to minimize their plight.
Also, as a recovering addict, I have tried to portray the road to sobriety
as clearly as possible, thereby clearing common misconceptions that
still lie deep seeded within the minds of the common man. Most people
are not aware of the pain and dark emotions that propel the addict into
taking narcotics to deal with the same.
I have also made clear how the society is also responsible, to a certain
extent, in aiding the problems of the addict by constant name shaming
and the propagation of guilt and shame. All this, for a disease that can
impact 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 that
have been covered within the ambit of the stoems. You shall find plenty
of stoems covering sexuality and intimacy with a tinge of humor and
sarcasm, the main context being how the physical part of the relation
acts as a critical foundation for a better, meaningful bond.
All through the stoems, I have been bold and emphatic in dealing with
various different genres which cannot be necessarily boxed into a one-
size-fits-all category. The tone is vigorous and undeniably insistent on
being real and honest so that we can become more open minded about
issues that need to be brought from the backburner into the limelight
simply because they are an essential component of life, without which
life would be empty and meaningless.
I expect people to be able to enjoy their real desires without being
subjected to ill will and demonization. I hope all readers can savor my
writing with a pinch of salt, and be able to express the same with a zeal
and enthusiasm that never fails to leave one surprised.
After all, being bold is being beautiful.
