QUEEN of the bad guys

Presenting the latest poem from VALIDATION, life is lyrical irony:

–Read QUEEN of the bad guys now, at Anvi’s Thoughts Caught–

I don’t want to be the bad guy,
I don’t want to end no careers,

I just don’t want to run, run, run away,
From all my problems, and the so-called hatred,

I didn’t want to have to be the only one,
Who told you the truth to your face,

I didn’t have to stay up late,
Helping them through counseling and trauma,

I don’t do anything I’m not proud of,
I don’t do much to blame the other,

But stop trying to assume I’m the one
who’ll take it quietly, lying down to your symphony,

If you make me the demon, then that’s who
you will find, and if you make me the angel, then well

we wouldn’t be here, then, would we?
But I’m standing at the edge of the ocean

waiting to hear an apology, waiting to see
your memories, waiting to talk this out, like adults,

But then you went ahead and made me the bad guy,
So don’t blame me for the
slip of the knife,
curve of the blade,
tumbling glass of poison,

Because you made a choice and now, you’re lying in it,
Lie, Lie, Lie to Me; Lie, Lie, Lie in this Mess you Made,

I didn’t choose this lifestyle, it came and chose me,
I was brought to a cave blindfolded, and two hours later I was the Queen,

Not everyone can pull off Taylor Swift Karma,
just like not everyone’s made to stomach Betrayal.

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.
