Outrage And Escape

"Outrage and Escape" is an anthology of poetry written by me, Panav Minocha, a 14 year old 9th grader. Not...your traditional poet. I began writing poetry during the COVID-19 lockdown because I wanted to capture the essence of society and my thoughts into powerful words and elegantly display these deep musings to the contemporary world or.......I was just bored. It's...probably the latter. I'm kidding.

During the lockdown, I felt helpless. I needed a medium to let out my thoughts...mostly of outrage at what was happening in the world. I discovered various social issues that enraged me and I turned to writing poems about them to somehow, in some way, have my voice heard even if my only audience is my notebook and MS Word. As for the Escape part of the title, it's just an amalgamation of my thoughts... be it introspection, appreciation, hatred, or just me recklessly pondering, I escaped the world, travelled through the depths of my mind, and reached my destination through paper and pen. Each one of these 25 poems carries the spirit of me, my generation, my world, outrage, and escapism (the good kind).

So, do you dare to venture into the brain of the poet who is too young to get a driver's license? Hope I surprise you
