The Weight of Almost

The Weight of Almost is a raw, intimate poetry collection about the space between courage and confession. Poet Shruthika Reddy turns hesitation, longing, and unspoken truths into verses that stay with you. Inside the collection: Unsaid Feelings opens with this: “The hidden script I have is something I’ve rehearsed countless times, proofread more carefully than my own answer sheets. For someone who once stood on a stage, speaking while the audience cheered louder than the mic, it feels strange that I now hesitate to tell you how I feel”. These poems are for the moon you long to reach but fear to touch. For the rose you want to pluck, ignoring the thorns it bears. For the three magical words that feel like the biggest truth to conceal.
