Shackleless

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 beingsubjected 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.
