The Ocean Never Apologizes

by Shruti Murali • December 5, 2020

I had ripples on my tongue

from all the words I held back

for the sake of decorum,

impressions,

and frothy relationships.

But the tide has since risen,

my boldness following suit,

I no longer speak in wavelets,

only surging truths.

I'm an Indian-American poet from Florida. I write about self-love, cultural healing, identity, and the female experience. In my poems, I enjoy personifying my emotions to promote self-awareness. I am mindful about using inclusive language in my writing to reflect all gender identities. Aside from writing, I love listening to R&B, singing, learning the art of the tarot, and trying new fashion trends!
