The Curse of Letting Go is among those rare poetry collections that do not just speak to one-they stand beside one with a motherly side assist through the turmoil of memories and loss. Prashant Paras writes in an intimate voice, so intimate that it seems like your own-"that"- inner voice with those never-dared-to-be-said-out-loud thoughts.
To me, each poem recalled loads of unheard sorrows- devoid of farewells to seize me by the heart, unanswered queries, and nights that pass as I am still thinking about certain people. There is no going gentle with these poems; they are raw, intense, and frightfully endowed with beauty. Yet, what really struck me was the secret probate of pain and the subtle drowning of one's self that comes with it.
Upon looking at the reference, "Letting go isn't the end-it's the beginning of carrying pain differently," it seemed an expression I have lived with all my life and never felt a need to put into words-all until this book-the parting of nameless sorrow.
This is not a book to read once and forget. This is the kind you go back to when the nights feel longer, when there is pain in your heart, or when you just want to feel understood by someone else.
Reading The Curse of Letting Go felt like peeling away layers of emotion I never really knew I still carried with me. It's not just a book of poetry; it's a commentary on holding on for too long, losing those who once meant the entire world to you, and silently trying to piece yourself back together when no one is watching. Prashant Paras writes with an intense honesty that made me stop and reread lines to really soak in the emotions.
One line stayed in my head for a long time: "Letting go isn't the end—it's the beginning of carrying pain differently." That really struck a chord: that's what heartbreak really feels like—you don't stop loving, you start living with the burden of having lost.
Certain poems brought me back to old farewells, to drifting friendships, or even to the abandoned version of myself. This very simplicity is what gives the collection its much deeper meaning; it does away with the clichés to convey stark, sincere feelings.
This book did not attempt to make things better for me, and maybe that was exactly what made it so comforting-the book let me occupy myself with pain instead of rushing toward healing. If you've ever carried pain quietly, somehow this book collection would feel as if someone finally heard your silent cries.
The Curse of Letting Go is a tender, aching collection that doesn’t try to fix your heartbreak but simply stays with you through it. Prashant Paras has a gift for capturing the quiet pain we carry ,the invisible kind, the kind we smile through, the kind that shows up late at night when no one else is around.
One line that stayed with me long after I closed the book was: “Finally, I found a boat. I was drowning— somewhere in the middle I found the shore.” — A drowning man’s last dream
This poem made me pause. It reminded me that even in the deepest pain, we can find small moments of peace , that can help us to move forward. It’s not about dramatic healing or sudden strength; it’s about slowly realizing that you’ve survived the worst, and somehow, you're still afloat. And that made all the difference .
This book is a companion for the broken, the healing, and the quietly hopeful. It’s not loud or showy ,it’s soft, deeply human, and beautifully honest. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning in your own emotions, this book might be the boat you didn’t know you were looking for.

Instead, it softly acknowledges everything you’ve ever buried—the ache of unfinished goodbyes, the weight of love that still lingers, and the silence that follows loss.
One poem in particular stopped me in my tracks: “And when the silence feels heavier than sound, come sit beside me. We won’t speak — just let our breaths keep each other company.”
These lines felt like someone understanding my quiet sadness without needing me to explain it. That’s what this book does so well—it recognizes how sometimes, we don’t want to be told it’s going to be okay. We just want someone to sit with us in the silence.
