Hide and Seek
I was happy yesterday.
But today, suddenly,
everything seems grey.
I guess my depression wants
to play hide and seek, again.

Level
Level.
A word which
is used by humans,
to measure, things.
Now let me
show y’all,
what humans
use it for.
Standard.
Status.
Money.
What it should
be used for.
Hypocrisy.
Poverty.
Inhumanity.
And, never
for a person’s
mundanity.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Excuses
I need some air.
I need some space.
I need to go.
Though the
sentences are different.
But they all mean the same.
They’re just.
Excuses to leave.
Excuses to run away.
Excuses to break a heart.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Pain and Love
Pain and love.
What’s the link
between these
two words?
For me,
They’re both
The same.
For me,
Pain, have
Become a
Metaphor
Of love.

Privileged
He took the first
Bite of his food,
And threw it away
Exclaiming how
tasteless it was.
A rag picker, later,
picked it up and ate it.
How satiated,
he looked,
while eating,
like it was
the tastiest food
he ever had.
Not everyone is
as privileged
as you are.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Gentleman
When you shave that beard,
it doesn’t lessen your masculinity.
Beard or not, masculinity lies
in the way you treat others.
If you think belittling others,
Makes you more masculine,
Then, my friend, you’re wrong.
‘Cause my parents have
taught me that being a
gentleman is the most
Masculine feature a
man can ever have.
-Abhishek Gupta.
It still hurts
I was doing fine.
I was on my way
To find bliss, again.
But then,
You came back.
Of Course,
in my memories.
It kills me.
Every time,
I think of you.
It still hurts, the same,
Like it did, when you
broke my heart.
It’s just that,
I don’t talk about it, anymore.
So now, no one can see it.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Halloween
We wear masks
to hide our faces
In Halloween.
But the truth is,
Those masks
of foul creatures
Doesn’t hide
our faces, but,
Unveils the
real ones.
-Halloween.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Bojh.
Kandho pe tha bojh bada.
Kaid ho gaya ta mai panchi.
Bhul gaya ta udna mai.
Bhul gaya ta udna mai.
Ke aaj dikha ek jhoond panchi ka
udta hua azaad gagan mein.
Aaj hua ehsaas mujhe,
Ke, kaid nahi rehna mujhko,
Mai nahi bana is pinjre ke liye.
Mai nahi bana is pinjre ke liye.
Nikal gaya aj mai is pinjre se.
Kyunki kandho pe ta bojh bada.
Kyunki kandho pe ta bojh bada.
-Aazaad.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Breeze.
Like a gentle breeze.
You came into my life.
When you touched me.
I felt, that sense of peace.
Then you left, and,
I stood there, and,
My heart ached.
But, the mistake was mine.
For I should’ve known.
It’s not in the
nature of breeze,
To stay at one place,
It always flees.
-Abhishek Gupta.
