Untold Lies
Raga Olga D’silva
In 2019, Raga came out as a lesbian through her book Untold Lies (2019). This is a collection of stories and poems that bind seamlessly to narrate her struggles with her own identity, and how, as her Instagram handle says, she is “totally out now”.
Emotional and poignant, Untold Lies is about a little girl’s journey to the truth that not only saves her but gives the reader hope. For don’t we all have a little girl in us, confined by the labels given to us by others? This relatable and courageous book is for anyone who has experienced the fear of being judged or of being unloved for being themselves.
The poems express the various emotions that one goes through in life. There are many observational poems in everyday life. There are poems on heartbreak, the pain of the broken pieces and the hurt that lingers on. However, each poem is full of hope and that is what I would like to leave with the readers.
