they tell me
i must be
misunderstood
and i say
that’s not it
that’s not me
not doing this
for sympathy
not doing this
for attention
like you may think i am
i don’t know
what to be
i don’t know
how to be
the real me
i’m not trying
to be cool
when i’m not
i’m just trying
to be me among the others
they call me fast
they call me a fiend
they say i lie
but that’s just me
what am i supposed to be?
according to you
i’m perfect or i’m not
your greatest generation
looks pretty bad now
but they don’t even say that
this is the truth
and it’s not a lie
when i say
that you make me cry
all the time
i try to be
and it’s too much
for you and them
is it not the end?
’cause it feels like it is
i am not trying
to be someone i’m not
i am just me, the real one at that
you tell me i’m done
you tell me it’s over
but this is the great adventure…
To be Continued…

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.
