Stains at the Bottom of the Mug

Life often feels like a cup of coffee left to go cold—chaotic, bittersweet, and full of stains we try to hide. In this collection, Kavya Arun captures those raw, unfiltered moments we all experience but rarely speak about. From the loops of daily struggles to the sting of heartbreak and the exhaustion of burnout, these poems don't just rhyme; they mirror the messy reality of growing up. It is a blend of polished thoughts and rough drafts, exploring the pressure to be perfect and the masks we wear to get by. Pick this up if you want to find a voice that understands the silence behind the smile.
