Wisdom Within: Poems to Help You Feel Better

By Humza Khan

A succinct collection of poems to help you on your journey of self-discovery.

Wisdom Within is a poetry collection touching on the subjects of the struggles we all go through, our shared suffering as humans and how to make the most of our feelings.

The idea for Wisdom Within came about during the global pandemic in 2020. After seeing and hearing how so many people were struggling to cope emotionally with the rapidly changing social landscape, he decided to write poems for common feelings so that all people could find similarities to identify with, no matter what stage of isolation they were in, and work towards a slightly more positive mood.

Despite this being his first book, the book rose to the poetry best sellers for a short while within only a month of its release.

This book is dedicated to my family and friends, who I love very dearly. I'll never be able to thank you properly for everything you've done for me, but I can do my best :)

In this world, it is not similarities or regularities that take us a step forward, but blunt opposites. And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us.

When it feels like a heavy cloud is weighing you down

All your face seems to be able to do is frown

Keeping your head up is one
