### Like a Raw Heart "Like a Raw Heart" delves into the depths of modern society's struggle with stoicism, where vulnerability is often pushed to the edge. I believe that emotions such as pain, agony, and desperation hold immense power. Despite societal pressures to suppress these feelings, they cannot simply disappear. They demand an outlet, a way to be acknowledged and transformed. For me, creativity, especially through poetry, serves as a transformative tool. It provides a channel for these raw emotions to find expression and meaning. Each poem in this collection is a testament to vulnerability—exploring raw emotions of romance, desperation, pain, departure, death, ,longing and questions that haunt us.These are the emotions that keep us awake at night, that define our humanity. Through my writing, I aim to give these emotions depth and resonance, offering a space where they can be understood and embraced. This book is an effort to explore the complexities of human experience, to find beauty in the darkness, and to provide solace through the power of words, lyrics, and music. It is a journey of catharsis, where poetry becomes a bridge between inner turmoil and external expression. "Like a Raw Heart" is not just a collection of poems but a reflection of my belief in the transformative potential of art. It is an invitation to confront the rawest parts of ourselves, to honor our vulnerabilities, and to discover strength in our shared human experience.
