What does it mean to be alone? To have no one and nothing waiting, To sit in solitude, pondering the unknown, Because your mind is already rating,
Loneliness, a disease with no cure, And no, it’s not contagious, But wait, you’re already detour’d, Why is this desire to fit in, already so outrageous?
I’m no longer scared, Of the dark and what it may contain, Contrary to what popular opinion cared, And now I sit here waiting for you, again,
An eternity alone, I fear I will spend, Sitting here all by myself, Alone till the very end, Biding my time before the torturing hells,
The world goes on, And no one notices my shadow, My earthly body, I may have forgone, But my spirit does hide, in the universe’s hollows,
No one noticed, my presence, An invisible shade stuck in the in-between, No one notices, my disappearance, A flicker gone out in the dark, unseen,
No one may care, They buried my ashes, Oh, how do they dare, On my stone there are gashes,
But I’m back now, waiting, That’s all I can do, No one to be relating, Simply be true,
Slowly, Biding my time, An Eternity has passed, Watching sin, war and crime, But I’m still here and here I will last. ANVI TUTEJA
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.
