And I’d say it was pure fiction, and it is (but only barely.)
Also, maybe a bit different than my other poetry in wandering poet or the real me, but is actually fresh writing (and promises hope for the future, perhaps something like illusion or optional nostalgia), unlike Transcript, which spent three months in my drafts before I felt I could publish it.)

searching for something
anything
that could make you feel like you were worth something

If you need some of my lighter poetry, perhaps try Stories, Queen of Nowhere, Black and White, or of course, the love anthem called Love Yourself Like I Do Myself.

Don’t worry, dear readers – I’m perfectly fine after writing this…made me feel much better, not depressed 🙂
And I’d say it was pure fiction, and it is (but only barely.)

sometimes i don’t know why i keep trying
looking for your fleeting approval
you’ve got me running around
wrapped around your little finger
searching for something
anything
that could make you feel like you were worth something

but you say, ‘No.’
and it feels like the world has come crashing
first, second, or last
if it doesn’t even matter
why do i try one, two, three, four thousand times?
the losing side, don’t even try
the ones who win by losing are the real illusionists

the tears are a comfort now
my only solace is the freezing isolating warmth
silently rolling down my cheeks
i used to want to die
that was then
i already know i’m dead
that is now

melodrama was my greatest companion
but misery loved company
till i came stumbling ‘round here
i feel like i’m a lifetime older
loneliness is the greatest hell
you can never escape alone
guess i’m spending an eternity down here

another thing i didn’t know way back when
back Before it happened
was sometimes i’d come to long for this
comforting fleeting make-you-feel-alive
– optional nostalgia –
does this make sense?
guess i’m so far gone i don’t really care

Could This Really Be The Ending?

In other light news, I achieved first place in a school competition. (yay!) It was a debate about water shortage. I’ll publish my speech here too; the issue is INCREDIBLY concerning in the current times, and I hope we can all work together to achieve SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Presenting – the latest in Reputation – Transcript

Love? (sigh) Love…convolutes things,
-What do you mean?-
I mean exactly that – Love complicates matters,
It –
It doesn’t even matter at this point.

-And what about Love? Have you never wondered?-
Love is for children,
and fools,
And I feel privileged to consider myself neither.

Do you know why?
-Why what?-
Why I will never let myself love anyone,
-Why?-
Because youth is wasted on the young.
[LEAVES]
-Wait, what? Wait.-
-Wait.-

My Mission with Speak Up! Act Now!

anvituteja

When I was in third grade, I first learned about climate change—a topic that both fascinated and alarmed me. Curious and concerned, I asked my parents what the world was doing to combat this global issue. Their response was disheartening: despite the urgency of the problem, India’s so-called “GREEN” budget was decreasing instead of increasing. This revelation stuck with me, sparking a desire to understand more and to do more.

By seventh grade, as a first-time Model United Nations delegate, my research into the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deepened. I learned about the failures of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the urgent need for the SDGs to step up and protect our world. Inspired by global figures like Greta Thunberg, I knew that action was necessary—now, not later.

Motivated by my peers and the critical issues at hand, I founded Speak Up! Act Now! —a platform dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring positive change. As a published author and avid blogger, I wanted to use my voice to make a difference, believing that my generation doesn’t need to wait to grow older to create a better tomorrow.

At Speak Up! Act Now!, we believe that every young person has the power to drive positive change. Our mission is to create a platform where every voice can be heard, fostering expression, leadership development, and social responsibility. We encourage people to speak up against injustices, volunteer in their communities, and lead by example.

Whether through Zoom sessions, blog articles, or on-the-ground actions, we’re committed to spreading our message far and wide. The heart of our mission is simple: to empower young voices to make a lasting impact on their communities and the world

Join us as we continue to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Together, we can create a world where every voice matters and every action counts.
