They say, “You will always be judged on your own merits,” When someone else fails, not yours is the credit, But that’s just ridiculous when the judging’s relative, When I know I was the true winner, how can I be anything but negative?
They say I got what I deserved, Only that which can be, must be preserved, I’m sorry I couldn’t hold on, But my ideas are my downfall – from dusk to dawn,
Now they’re taking revenge, I’m sorry our love, I could not avenge, And the others tell me to leave, and go whence I came, But how do I tell them, nothing ever stays the same,
I came in here – bold as brass, I scoffed and jeered at them to let me pass, But now it’s come to bite me back, like a knife in the back, And now they tell me, my last is on the track,
I’m sorry, I couldn’t preserve my sanity, I was blinded by misconceptions, beauty and vanity, So I’m sorry, because I cannot fight back much longer, But I couldn’t hold on, because my fears were made to be conquered. 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.
