The shore knew it had nothing to grieve
The sea never could be his
The sea would remain its muse
The only thing that the shore hoped was:
For the sea to wash its pain in its shore.

Here is a tale of an introverted me who knew not what to expect from life . ....... I would talk less at school, not attend socialising events, avoid looking at stranger's eyes while on the road. In short, I wanted to be invisible to t...
