I was in third or fourth grade when I started writing poems, actually not even poems but pairs of lines with their last word rhyming. I didn't know what I was doing. At the age of eight or nine I didn't know how to express myself and specially my emotions. Everytime I was happy, sad, angry, excited or whatever, I took out my diary and started writing something. It started from scribbles and later turned into stanzas. When I identified my talent, I got really excited to show it to others but, when I showed it to my friends and cousins they made fun of me. Even after all of this I didn't give up, I kept writing and writing. After two years, I showed my poems to all of them who made fun of me and demotivated me, and as a result they were AMAZED! This was my amazing journey which led to my first book- POEMS AND PIECES OF ME by NAVYA ARORA. It's not available on Amazon or offline retailers but you can buy it from the publisher. The link to the book is provided below, please take the initiative to write a review and buy it if you want to.
