Ananya: For me, writing poems has been my 'haven' since l was in class 6. Whenever I felt an emotion which I could not explain to others or sometimes, even to myself, I chose to write it down. For instance, if I ever felt a negative emotion... by the time I would finish my poem, I would have forgotten that feeling of negativity. All my feelings turned into the words of my poems. Till now l had been keeping most of my poems to myself, seeing them as something not as valuable to others. But it is due to some of my family members and my co-author, that l decided to share these feelings with you all.

I have never been a great write
