Crybaby: Once Upon a Sob...

By Mannat Gupta

Once upon a sob... There was a girl who took a poetic plunge into the sea of too-muchness. Writing a personal love letter to the broken, from the broken.

Seventeen and seething with feeling, the poet makes Crybaby dive into the rawest crevices of the human heart, where rage meets softness, where self-loathing kisses self-love, and where every tear is a revolution. Told through fragmented verses, poetic prose, and the ghostly echoes of a girl learning to breathe again, this book is a lighthouse for the shipwrecked soul.

Split into six haunting acts, Loathing, Yearning, Crying, Healing, Loving and Possessing, this collection embraces contradictions. It is chaos and clarity, trauma and tenderness, grief and glitter, blood and blossoms. These poems do not simply speak. They whisper. They ache. They devour.

For the crybabies who never stopped feeling too much- this is your battle cry, your lullaby, your mirror, your kin.

Welcome aboard, little storm. Let your tears set sail, because there is beauty in breaking. And you-yes, you-deserve to heal.
