She was told to shrink.
To stay quiet, blend in, follow the rules.
But instead—she wrote.
All the Poems I Wasn’t Supposed to Write is a bold and unflinching collection born from years of being underestimated, overlooked, and unheard.
Through schoolyard bullying, academic discrimination, social pressures, and silent battles with self-worth, Anisha Kar crafts poems that bleed truth, question norms, and whisper strength into the hearts of those who’ve ever felt “not enough.”
This book isn’t just about what breaks us—it’s about the courage, the fire that rises after, and the voice that refuses to stay silent.
If you’ve ever been judged for dreaming too big, loving too deeply, or refusing to conform—these pages are yours.
Because sometimes, the poems you're not supposed to write are the ones the world most needs to read.
