Hudhaifah Shah is a 17-year-old high school senior from Pakistan. He has always liked reading poetry and fiction, because it helped him escape into a different reality. Living in a suffocating environment, life felt like a constant race against the universe; one that he felt he could never win. Writing poetry helped him keep his sanity and the part of him that made him human. The poems that he writes are just the written versions of the thought journeys he has.
