POEMS
From a child to a psychiatrist
Volume 13 Issues 1 January, 2023 Dear doctor, It’s not easy to be me, Who is neither heard nor seen. People say I’m disabled, But that’s not what I feel, I think I’m differently abled. I surely don’t know, what 35+26 results into, But I indeed know, where love and helping hands can lead me […]

Comfort -A psychiatrist’s dilemma
Volume 12 Issues 1 January, 2022 Is there some comfort in hearing voices that others can’t hear? Some comfort in that twisted posture of catatonia? Is there some comfort in searching for ways to let go of your life from your body? Is there some comfort in the storms of euphoria and rage that mania […]
“AFTERMATH”
Volume 11 Issues 2 February, 2021 We always remember the blazing flame, the last few moments of spark.But what about the ash that remains, and then the eternal dark? Sadness comes in waves, but guilt?Guilt wants to watch us drown. The first thing you remember is the last thing they said.And the last thing you […]
“THE FALL HAS BEGUN”
Volume 11 Issues 4 April, 2021 There I stood, on the tallest buildingBuried in silence, I could speak to the windBusy men and women walk the streets of ManhattanBut from where I stood, I was far too distant. No happy faces bring joy to my soulNo cheering crowd mask my sorrowsI fought my battles, called […]
“THEY ALWAYS SAY”
Volume 11 Issues 11 November, 2021 They said- “you can’t do it.” I did the same, even better. They said- “don’t go there; it’s dark enough.” They said- “don’t you dare move along with us.” I became the light myself and went right through. They said- “you can’t laugh so loud.” I laughed my heart […]
