THE POET : Fateh Khan

Fateh is a tri-lingual poet (English, Urdu and Punjabi) who has been writing poetry since secondary school as he was able to express stories and emotions through his words.

His inspiration for writing grew as he began to explore new concepts within relatable situations. His work revolves around mental health, societal issues and motivation.

THE POEM : Being At Peace

Whilst we go after what we crave

We lose whatever we have saved

Our minds our bodies no longer feel safe

We run to escape but end up in a cave

Inflamed in pores

Going against nature and its law

Which gives priority to keeping well

In an open garden we should dwell

Flowers blossom and butterflies fly

In a breathtaking sky

But the questions imprison us

Who, what, where and why

I can't breathe I only sigh

Then I come to accept

This is a prison for the ones who believe

Being content with these walls is ultimate relief
