Raakh.

Wo aag ab sulagti nahi. Raakh jaisa bhi kuch bacha nahi shayad. Raakh jaisa jo bacha ta. Le gaya hawa use apne sath uda kar. Har dard har yaad ko mita dala us hawe ke jhonke ne. Ab ek nayi shuruwat ki oor kadam badhana hai. Tu aur mai liye hatho me hath. Bas ab hume ye ek sath nibhana hai.

Storm.

There’s a storm
Outside
As well as
Inside my head.

– A catastrophic storm.

– Abhishek Gupta.

Sabotage.

A toxic relationship.
Bringing unhappiness.
Malevolent humans.
Driven by enviousness.
Away, you need to stay.
From such humans & relationships.
Burn the bridges.
You must’ve heard this, from many.
I say, why burn it?
Destroy. Sabotage. Extinguish it.
To bits and pieces.
Completely. So that the world,
Would see, what can you do,
If they try to hurt you.
You are what you are.
Do not restrain yourself.
Be. What you are.
Do. What you want.
You only live once.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Different.

It’s a hard world to be different in.

Why is it so hard for people to accept other people the way these other people are? Why can’t uncanny be considered beautiful? Why does a person, who’s different, has to be treated as a cast out? Why can’t that different person just stay different and be happy? Why can’t Y’all just let that person be, what that person is?

Stop judging. Stop hating. Stop trying to control.

For the love of God. Just stop.

– Live and let live.

Writer’s life.

We’re going to keep writing, forever,
for, we can never stop,
for, we won’t stop.
We can never be empty,
empty, of emotions and feelings,
’cause, just like a jar,
when it’s empty,
someone comes and fills it again,
and that’s the beauty of it,
of us, of everyone who writes.
They can never stop,
for, it’s an endless loop,
and endless cycle.
We feel. We write. We vent.
We do it all over again.
– Words matter.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Why?

It’s your choice, to choose,
happiness over sadness.
I’ve heard this, from many.
Well, I chose happiness.
I chose bliss, over sorrow.
I chose freedom.
Then why am I still imprisoned,
inside my own head, with sadness?
Why am I still, alone, trapped with rage?
If it was my choice, then,
why am I still drenched in
pain, sorrow, and suffering?
Maybe, ’cause, I chose happiness,
but happiness, didn’t choose me.
– Bipolarity.

Khuda.

तेरे नूर का दीदार करा दे।

काफी वक्त से किया है इंतजार।

कभी मंदिर।

कभी मस्जिद।

कभी गुरूद्वारा।

ढूंढा इन आंखों ने तूझे

ना जाने कहां कहां।

अब देदे एक झलक अपनी

थक चुकी है ये आंखें

तूझे ढूंढते ढूंढते।

करा दे मुझे दीदार तेरा।

करा दे मुझे दीदार तेरा।

– नूर-ए-खुदा।

Be truthful.

Why lying to someone, anyone,
that you love them, care about them,
When you have no such feelings, in actuality?
Why faking that love, that care, that affection,
When you don’t have it for that person?
What’s the point of being hideous here?
You tell them, that you care,
and that person believes you,
and then, what do you do?
You shun them when they need you.
You break their heart, for you lied, to them.
Why this duality?
Embrace what you are.
You don’t like somebody?
You don’t want that somebody, to be around?
Tell them, that you don’t want them.
But don’t be a dual faced person,
Who makes the life of others, miserable.
How would you feel, if someone,
you consider your own, someone you love,
someone you think care about you,
would do the same with you?
Feeling it, yet?
That emotional breakdown,
That feeling of betrayal,
That trust being getting
hammered into pieces?
Stop being frivolous.
Embrace your reality.
Embrace yourself.
Be truthful, to yourself,
and to others.
Love is divine.
Or at least it is considered.
So don’t make it dirty,
with your heinous acts.
– Love and be loved.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Acceptance.

I’m burning in agony.
This is the result of your felony.
Strangers we’ve become,
A constant struggle,
My life has become.
Lonesome nights,
Drowning in rum.
A crucial situation, filled with,
Agitation,
Aggression,
Hesitation,
I have become a living example of negation.
Whether to love. Whether to hate.
So confused, I cannot even interpret.
I guess I have to accept now,
Accept my gruesome fate.
