When I look into the mirror, I see myself as but an actor, When I look into the mirror, I feel like a mortal, but mere-er, When I look into the mirror, Is it me I see, or someone dearer?
When I glance at my reflection, I look like someone deep in thought, in contemplation, When I glance at my reflection, The raw light in me takes a deflection, When I glance at my reflection, I always have a fear of rejection,
When I peer into clear glass, The ugliness inside of me, does amass, When I peer into clear glass, I see myself for who I really am, plainly crass, When I peer into clear glass, The truth is seen, greener than other-side grass,
When I view the perfectly-clear water, I see myself as the perfect daughter, When I view the perfectly-clear water, The darkness within me, I do wish to slaughter, When I view the perfectly-clear water, I feel like a deserted marauder,
When I search for myself in the pure lenses, Would I then, finally come to my senses? When I search for myself in the pure lenses, Will my soul finally take a consensus? When I search for myself in the pure lenses, Of who I am, behind all the pretenses?
When I look into the mirror, I finally see myself, but clearer.
As an Avid Blogger, I, Anvi Tuteja, am elated to present my blogsite – Anvi’s Thoughts Caught – as an amalgamation of my literary enterprise, poetic endeavours, day-to-day blogs, and other creative interests.
Here is a bit about me: https://anvituteja.com/about-me/
Anvi Tuteja is a master mischief maker, secretly plotting world domination from her imaginary window seat in Gurgaon, India. She’s an aspirant philosopher, first-time author and a die-hard Potter Head. She sidelines as an Oracle of Prophesies, blogger at WordPress and her family’s self-appointed movie buff.
Anvi has been reading and writing since she was three years old. For her, poetry is a coping mechanism, and in her words – one that doesn’t judge, doesn’t lie and doesn’t make you feel like you’re wrong for simply being the way you are.
Anvi Tuteja is a bundle of contradictions – she reads, but binge-watches anything Marvel; she doesn’t have a social media presence, but she writes a secret diary; and she is a walking Shakespeare encyclopedia, but also a constant music streamer.
In all her work, from her regular posts at her blogsite – http://www.anvituteja.com to her TEDx talk about New Emerging Technologies – Anvi Tuteja does it all with heart, impatience and love.
