Dear reader,
If you’re holding this book right now, I’m glad our paths crossed here.
I started writing poetry in quiet moments, sometimes from thoughts that stayed with me longer than expected, sometimes from things I observed around me. A few poems in this book come from my own feelings, while others are simply reflections on moments, people, and questions that linger.
I like to believe that poems can mean different things to different people. So while these words began with me, they belong to you now in whatever way you choose to understand them.
This is my first collection of poetry, and I hope somewhere in these pages you find a line that stays with you a little longer than the others.
Love,
Sachi Adakmol
