i can’t even tell if i’m dreaming
can’t even realise this feeling
of being free to be me
i hear their voices
i hear them laugh
i hear them make me feel like
i don’t deserve this right
that i call mine
but you can’t stop my dreaming
you can’t even take it away from me
you can steal my life
but you can’t steal my right
to dream, to see, to believe
that i could be
anything i wanted to be
i believe, that i can dream
of something better
a brighter letter
this is my dream
this is my reality
and who’s to say, which is which?
this is my life
this is my right
this is my dream to be
something better
than what they made me
tell me i lie
tell me i’m scared
tell me anything you want
tell me to be something else
i won’t listen because i am more
call me a liar
call me a snitch
call me a broken part
go ahead
i won’t break
because i am more
than the monster
you made me believe i was

This is NOT the End…

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.
