So here it is. After months of overthinking, confusion and dilly-dallying, my first official blog post. Feels unreal.
So let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself.
My name is Pratik Iyer. I am 23 and a C.A. student (have been for some time now!). I am also a passionate footballer and an Arsenal fan (Wenger Out!). And lastly and most importantly I am a Closet Poet.
And now, coming to why I decided to start this blog.
Honestly I never thought of myself as a poet. I always believed I am just someone who is a little too fond of making words rhyme! And although I have written a few poems over the years I have never really 'gone public' with them because I always deemed them to be 'not good enough' for public viewing. But thanks to some encouraging reviews from some encouraging friends I realized that the poems I wrote weren't as bad as I thought they were. And more importantly it didn't matter if they were bad because, you know, not a lot people are going to read my blog anyway!
So this blog is the 'coming out of the closet' moment for me. I am hoping that the pressures of blogging will make me write on a regular basis at least. But more importantly I want this blog to be a platform for fellow 'Closet Poets' like me to share their poetry. Maybe if you guys post your poems here and get some positive reviews you will realize that you are much better than you think you are and hopefully that will encourage you to write more and maybe create a blog of your own one day!
So, to conclude, I'll be trying to post my work as regularly as possible. And if any of you want your work to be posted here you can mail it to me at pratik.gunner253@gmail.com and I'll make sure it finds some space here!
Cheers!
