In one's contemplation regarding suicide, the direct feeling merely marks the horizon of a lean in neither life nor death. In lieu, only the detachment from life makes them want to succumb to the latter- which by then, should sound perplexing enough to be thought of as a paradox. After all, what is a human without a soul?

The Diary of A Tortured Poet isn't your typical collection of poems. It's a raw, determined exploration of the human condition, filtered through the lens of a soul wrestling with its demons. Inside, you'll find poems that delve into the depths of despair, loneliness, and unrequited love. The poet doesn't shy away from the darkness, instead using vivid imagery and metaphors to paint a picture of a world teetering on the edge. There will be poems that rage against the injustices of the world, and others that whisper of a beauty glimpsed only through fractured emotions. Love, when it appears, is a bittersweet poison. It ignites passion but ends in heartbreak, leaving scars etched onto the page. Nature becomes a reflection of the poet's inner confusion - stormy skies mirroring the storm within, and wilting flowers symbolizing lost hope. But even in the bleakest of moments, there's a flicker of defiance. The tortured poet finds solace in the act of creation itself, using words as a weapon against the silence that threatens to consume them. There's a yearning for connection, a desperate plea to be understood, even if it's just by a single reader who dares to delve into the poet's tormented soul. The Diary of A Tortured Poet is a challenging read, but a rewarding one. It's a testament to the enduring power of human emotions, reminding us that even in the face of immense suffering, the creative spirit can find a way to express itself, leaving behind a legacy of raw beauty and haunting honesty.
