Description
About the book
Drowning In Darkness by Manal Waseem is not just any poetry book. It’s more than that. It will pull you into the depths of unspoken sorrow where silence is heavier than any scream. It is not a book that merely speaks, it listens. To the wounds you hide beneath forced smiles. To the echoes of a voice that was never heard. To the weight of loneliness pressing against your ribs, reminding you that even in a crowded room, you can still feel alone.
These poems are not meant to comfort you, they are meant to understand you. This book will not offer easy answers or false hope. It will not tell you to move on or to heal before you are ready. Instead, it will sit with you in silence during the nights where sleep refuses to come.
If you have ever felt like you are drowning in your own thoughts, like your emotions are too heavy to carry yet too deep to express then this book is for you. Let these words be the ones you could never speak.
About the Author
Where most people turn away from the dark, Manal Waseem leans in and writes. With a mind that rarely rests and a heart that beats for progress, Manal writes to connect, with those who feel deeply, yet say little. Still pursuing her bachelor’s degree, she balances academia, corporate life, and creativity with grit and grace.
By day, she works with global names like Walmart at an international firm, and by night, she dives into the world of flavors as a food blogger — a passion she’s nurtured for over four years. But it is through poetry that Manal finds her rawest form of expression.
Drowning in Darkness is her debut collection. A book born not from perfection, but from depth, thought, and a quiet rebellion against silence. Her words don’t just speak, they echo.
