Endless Journey has twenty one poems written by Sumedha Jena. About the poems of this book Sumedha says, "A majority of the poems written in this book aren't from my own experiences, rather they are from seeing other people experience something similar. A lot of the poems are also exaggerated to give the reader a better understanding and insight about what they're reading. At a young age, I realized that life is not always a happy journey, and that one has to always endure hardships along the way in order to reach a successful point in their life. I wrote these poems targeting anybody who has gone through something similar in life. I felt like if I write poetry based on these topics, someone might be able to relate to them. This book is basically about the transition of coming out of a dark, angry, and an unhappy place into a more radiant world."

Endless Journey is an accumulated record of time and memories consisting of an invisible realm of those emotions that define us as humans. I invite you to expound on my personal journey of healing as I travel through life looking for what isn't stationed, but in motion. What isn't like calm water but like waves, pushing these pearls of oceans asking to give away everything, take nothing, but demand everything. As you read through this book, you will know how pain lessens over time, but never goes away. It offers happiness over despair as I discovered that life is a variety of people, trapped within one single mind, all trying to free themselves from the poison of esse.
