A raw, honest and heartfelt poetry collection from Taz Alam – for the tough times, the great times, and everything in between.Depressed, but it’s fine.Anxious, but it’s fine.Heartbroken, but it’s fine.When you’re ready to embrace how you really feel,I hope this book helps you connect, reflect, and be seen.What matters is that you’re here.Maybe we can be fine, together.
