Things I Couldn't Name: Selected Poems

What if the fears we carry from childhood quietly follow us into adulthood?Through intimate, reflective poems, Asish traces a journey through childhood, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depression, loneliness, treatment, recovery, and self acceptance. From classroom memories and childhood wounds to the experience of seeking professional help, these poems explore the invisible battles that can shape a person long after the moment has passed.But this is not only a book about pain. It is about learning to ask for help, finding language for what was once impossible to name, and discovering that healing does not mean forgetting the past. It means learning to live beyond it.At its heart, this is a book about the child we carry within us and the adult we eventually learn to become. A personal collection about mental health, memory, healing, and the quiet courage to keep us going.
