    About this ebook

    “A Different One’’ is a collection of poetry written by Amna Thapa journeying through life, love, betrayal, tragedies and loss. This book is a heart-wrenching expression of raw emotion simplified in short, but thoughtful pieces. These poems are for those who love too deeply, for those who break too easily, and for those who continue to rise— time and time again. Thapa’s words enable readers to confront their deepest sorrows and piece together the parts that are broken. This is a book of heartbreak and healing— but more importantly, a poetry of overcoming, struggling and choosing to be a different one in a blind world with alike thinking minds. It is easy to nod and get along with a group of identical people but what if your mind goes against your actions, what if there is a strong urge for you to rebel against wrong actions, what if you are an original from all the photocopies in the world, what if you finally decide to risk all your smiling companions for being a different one, would you?

    Author

    Amna Thapa

    Amna Thapa is a Nepalese poet, writer, and author of her very first book A Different One, who was born in India and raised in Qatar. She enjoys writing for children of all ages. She believes that poetry can change the world and she uses it to inspire and empower young people. Amna also considers her faith and family to be most important to her. When she isn’t reading or writing heartbreaking poems, she’s probably painting, watching psychopath facts on YouTube or dreaming of the famous Middle-eastern dish called shawarma.
