Warum, oh, Warum, Denke ich in den Arbeitsraum, Der Lehrplan ist so lang, Und die studien hast nur anfang, Was erwartet ihr? Immer Perfekt sind wir? Das ist was ich fehle, Geben die Lehererinnen die befehle, Die Schule ist ohne Herz, Deren Worter geben mir Kopfschmerz, Prüfung und Prüfung und Prüfung, Ich bin müde wegen die übung, Sehr studieren, Sehr arbeit, Nein schlafst du in Klassenzeit, Und denn das Tag werden sich bekommen, Das Ergebnis Tag hat schließich gekommen, Schüttele ich in meine Sitz, Ängstlich ist meine Antlitz, Und denn sehe ich meine antworten, Und ich finde dass ich Nummer Eins abhalten! ANVI TUTEJA
Now life just feels like a story, And not like the good kinds, that get written in history,
The big man just got fired, And all the little ones are getting tired, Mom’s upset about something, I smile and tell you it’s nothing, My sister’s got some heartache, After 2 months; I tell her to move on, for god’s sake,
Yeah, it’s the same old stories, The bad ones that never get turned into movies,
But now things are changing, Yeah, it seems like the world’s rearranging, Now we’ve got stuff, like support groups and unconscious bias, We’ve got a new faith too, let’s see how long it tries us, But when my sister takes your photo and asks, I try to forget what you said about the past, Dad’s home and the family’s back together, My sister’s got a new guy and she’s sure – This time it’s forever,
It’s still the same old story, but something feels different, The rules are changing, and the world’s becoming insolent,
It’s six months later, still stuck at home, My sister’s even more in love and I’m even more alone, Daddy’s retired now, they live in a cottage off of Bournemouth, My brother’s passed out and he’s heading down south, And today I drove through the suburbs, crying, Because you’ve been away so long, it’s falsifying,
And now the same old story, isn’t so casual any more, Because I was promised, this love was forevermore,
My sister’s getting married, and you’re not invited, Don’t even try showing up, ’cause my brother will kill you if you’re sighted, And I won’t care either, I’ll just look away, nonchalant, My parent’s are here, so’s half the family from Vermont, And it’s time for the vows, and I walk outside, And there you’re standing with flowers, acting like you’re all mine, Now I know, this isn’t a story, Almost over with a closing curtain of glory,
This is just the beginning of a new chapter, Of you and me, with smiles and laughter. ANVI TUTEJA
Anvi’s Thoughts Caught, welcomes you to the exclusive first look and cover reveal of ‘Reputation‘, a collection of never-before-seen poems. This summer, Anvi’s Thoughts Caught welcomes you to a diverse collection of poetry, the exploration of a new genre by Anvi Tuteja.
The first poem of this collection is entitled ‘Queen of Nowhere‘ and is the first of a series. This year, for three months, Anvi’s Thoughts Caught, will be celebrating what makes us unique, our diversity and our freedom to be who we want to be. ‘Queen of Nowhere‘ talks of this freedom a soul receives after being chained – in mind, body and soul.
Thank you to all of my dedicated followers. Anvi’s Thoughts Caught would not exist without each and every one of you. I thank you once again and hope you will enjoy ‘Reputation‘ as much as I will presenting it to you.
Presenting – the first from the Anvi Tuteja Archives, a poem for Mother’s Day! Dedicated to my mother, who is certainly the best in the whole universe!
My mother is as sweet as pie, I am the apple of her eye, She is as good as gold, And in all the land this must be told, She’s the one who’s always bold as brass, When it comes to manners, she will never let me give a pass, She’s the one who makes sure I stay as fit as a fiddle, With her help I can solve each and every riddle, I’m as proud as a peacock to say, This is my mother and as such forever she will stay! ANVI TUTEJA, I love you Mom!
People called me a madman, a terrorist, an anarchist – I am none of those things, My name is Daedalus of Athens and I was the greatest inventor to have ever lived,
They sought to break me, to wound me, to steal the very things I loved – I wanted none of it, You act as if fame was a great honour who deigned to bestow upon me,
You think I wanted to kill my nephew? Perdix, was merely a boy – Perdix, replace me? I made him, I made you all, I made Athens the greatest city in the history of mankind,
And what did you do? Oh, you ostracized me, you laughed at what made you great – Did you expect me to watch idly by? While you made me an example to haunt your children at night,
And then I worked for the power-blind king, Minos and his half-mad wife – But I would have none of it, I was made a symbol, a symbol of Crete’s growing prowess,
And then I achieved the feat no man had, yes, no man – I created life, My workspace, My creation, Oh, My Labyrinth, It was a gift from the god Hephaestus himself,
But this was not done by a god, but by me, mere Daedalus – And what did I get for it? I was imprisoned, tossed aside like just another tool, no escape ‘cept a window on the tallest tower,
You mocked me Minos, but I thought you knew not to underestimate me – I flew, while Icarus decided to touch the Sun, Foolish boy, never could listen, could he? But I flew, Minos, I had golden wings, those to rival Nike’s,
Sicily was a strange place no doubt, but with the usual half-piece king with a mind on gold – I rebuilt myself in the shadows, And when you came along, my three apprentices worked magic on your backward soul,
I hear you were made a judge in the underworld – Forever only a slave to the will of Hades, Not bad, but how does it feel sending others to the paradice you can never go to?
And me? Don’t you want to know what happened to me? Finish the story – I’m on Endeka now, Yes, I finally did it – what you only talked about. I became Daedalus of Athens, inventor immortal. ANVI TUTEJA
You’ve never understood, And I know you won’t ever understand, You wouldn’t do that, but I would, I was wanted by everyone in this desolate land,
But I wanted to change you, I wanted to make this work, I wanted this love to someday be true, Now in the hollows of this world, does my spirit lurk,
You can’t do this, you can’t ever care, About someone other thanyourself, You were not a diamond in the rough, just a mistake rare, But I cared, even if you dragged me through the seven hells,
It was the only thing I had, their love, Something you never gave me, They were my family and you left them to suffer, That’s why I don’t regret this decision to leave. ANVI TUTEJA
I don’t know this feeling, it’s a dragging in my soul, I don’t know how I’m gonna come out of this- complete and whole, I can’t tell if I’m still thinking, Don’t even know now, how to keep on living,
I sit here alone in the dark, On a terrifying tale, has my soul embark, And now I know, now I’m mature, Mature enough to know – it’s all part of nature,
Now I know the despairs, Of a broken heart rare, They tried to shield me from the dangers, But they just pushed me away, and now we feel like strangers,
And now I know, sometimes – Love Feels Like Loneliness, And your love has now turned to carelessness, You did what was you though was best and I thank you for that, But I haven’t heard from you in years, and I don’t know where you’re at,
I loved you both, I loved them all, but you left me behind, And thoughts and what ifs are all that do surround my mind, Your Love Feels Like Loneliness, and there’s nothing I can do, That’ll make you stay, ’cause you’re already on your way, (that’s true,)
And I know that I’ll be fine, someday, yeah, someday, But all I know is that someday, isn’t going to be, no god forbid, today, And now you’re out of this mind of mine, And no, I’m never going to be fine,
Because yes, I loved you, and I think that I still do, Yes, I now that I do, but do you? Because to me, your Love Feels Like Loneliness, But to you, did my love feels like Nothingness?
L – O – N – E – L – Y, why don’t you stop living that lie, L – O – N – E – L – Y, how do you feel? Tell me why? And I love you, but I don’t think you know – this is for you, Especially after all I’ve done, you wouldn’t know if I was true,
But this is sorry, not goodbye, because I still love you after all them lies, You did it for my own good, and I didn’t know about my wiles, And I love you, because Your Love Feels Like Loneliness, And I never realised how much, I needed your Happiness. ANVI TUTEJA
There are no heroes in the history books, Because not everything is as it looks. No one, not even your false idols are unscared, Contrary to what popular opinion cared,
Names immortalised, never to be knocked off the pedestal, From humans to gods, from gods to a false idol, One man’s god is another’s devil Swearing to end all strife, wars and evil,
But who decides what’s wrong and what’s right, You, who believes that right is might? Because there is difference between right and religion, Cleansing isn’t always the solution,
And the likes of you could never know true pain, Scowling at a fresh winter morning, just after the rain, Between faith and felony; oh, there is a difference, And you will tell this tale in a tavern, ages and ages hence,
That you were a false idol, broken and alone, But the revolution against you had massively grown, Now, the “heroes” are torn from the history books, Because everything is finally as it looks. ANVI TUTEJA
