Stuck between a Rock and a Hard Place

In this compelling collection of 21 poems, a millennial voice grapples with the paradoxes of contemporary life - where success stories flood our social media while we count coins for our next meal, where we're more connected than ever yet increasingly isolated, where our dreams remain vivid even as we navigate lives we never imagined for ourselves. Drawing from personal experiences in office cubicles, crowded commutes, and quiet moments of reflection, these poems explore a deeply relatable portrait of life caught between tradition and modernity, between resignation and hope, between the rock of responsibility and the hard place of personal dreams.
