The Beginning of My Bs - Roma Mazumdar

The Beginning of My BS is a poetic collection that explores the roller coaster of emotions and experiences that accompany adolescence

I write when I am filled with emotion

When I am sad

When I am angry

I write because I am not good at talking about my feelings

I don't like seeming weak in the eyes of others.

If I talk I might cry

And if I cry I might create an ocean

So I will continue to waste ink

And keep moving this pen along this paper till I am numb and there are no more tears to cry.

This work of poetry takes readers on a personal journey of pain, love, and self-expression. It finds a way to your heart and reignites a feeling of strength. The author craftily grabs a hold of emotions, shakes them up, and leaves them to heal.

-Stephanie Spaete, teacher of literature, studied English language at Texas Women's University

Roma Mazumdar creates a vivid, yet authentic evocation of the stark facets of reality. Readers will be unblinded as she uncovers the hidden veils that are so deeply intertwined in society.

-Peyton Williams, student at Harvard University and poem enthusiast
