It was too late,
By the time I realized who you really are.
By the time I realized life is not a love song.
I chose to wait for you, I chose to love you,
Never in my life had I been so wrong.
Set ablaze by the flames of agony,
And a Heart filled with rage,
Do not come near me, my love.
For I have a beast inside, waiting to hurt you,
Locked up in a flesh and bone cage.

I made some mistakes in my life.
We’re all humans and we do that all the time.
Our mistakes do not define who we are.
It helps us to grow as a person.
We learn from it.
I do not seek power but knowledge,
’cause I yearn for it.
Love is an imperative part of life.
It gives us strength to be.
To this I agree.
But knowledge,
It’s the knowledge that really sets us free.

I’ve become what I hated,
From my body, my soul has been separated.
I have this anger, this rage inside of me.
There’s no one here I could confide in.
Hurt and betrayed by my own,
This rage inside of me has grown,
It has slowly taken over my mind,
This hatred inside me cannot be described,
My heart needs to be sedated.
For I’ve become what I hated.

I’m a Misfit in this society.
But I always try to do well.
Doing well for others has always been my priority.
My brain is filled with anxiety.
But it never affects my sobriety.
I laugh, I cry, I stumble, I try.
But I do it by myself, I like staying alone.
I put on some good music,
And all my worries are gone.
No, that doesn’t make me rude.
I just find bliss in solitude.
I’m not a lonely lad, so don’t feel pity.
For I’m just a Misfit in this stupid society.

What touches the soul?
Not the big things, but the small ones.
When you’re smiling, but someone knows that your heart burns.
When someone listens to all your problems quietly, while taking a stroll with you in the lawn.
When someone makes effort to make you smile,
No matter even if it takes a while.
When someone understands your silence, and sticks to you even if it’s not exigence.
When someone loves you unconditionally, irrespective of your flaws.
You’d never let that ‘someone’ go away, promise that to yourself, make the vow.
When a person tries to fill your empty life with love, and make it whole.
Now these are the things that truly touches the soul.
-Abhishek Gupta
Haunted by the past,
Everything seems unclear.
To get what you want,
You need to let go of this fear.
You want to stay happy?
You want to live?
Then the first thing you need to do is to forgive.
You need to forgive them so that you can have peace.
Stop overthinking, you’re not the one who should regret.
For the sake of your happiness, you need to let go of the past,
You need to forget.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Emotions are temporary,
So are the people in your life.
Inside your head,
Lives a world full of strife.
You need to stop staying sad.
You can overcome anything,
You’re a strong lad.
Never make any life decision in a hurry,
Because everything in life is temporary.
-Abhishek Gupta
I am the beginning,
I am the reason for everything that you’re feeling.
Accept me the way I am. Why are you refraining?
I give you the power, but I can easily be devoured.
I give you happiness, I give you sorrows.
So live me as if there is no tomorrow.
Be righteous & humble and try not to stumble.
Don’t let anyone take me away from you,
For I am precious.
I can be rife with happiness or maybe strife.
I am the beginning. I am life.
-Abhishek Gupta
Dying is not the solution.
This is not about Salvation or Damnation.
It’s about how you handle the situation.
Everyone gets hurt, life does that to you!
Some wounds and pain are unbearable, I know.
But that pain is going to help you grow.
That heartache is going to make you strong,
So hold onto something tight and please don’t do anything wrong.
You’re hurt? Then go and get your retribution!
But don’t give up on life,
For dying is not the solution.
-Abhishek Gupta
Hurt and betrayed umpteen times.
All I ever wanted was to be loved,
But I guess it was a crime?
I need to take some time off,
For life has become a bit rough.
I’m not giving up,
But some decisions in life are tough.
Happiness is what I seek,
Life is a mountain and happiness is at its peak.
This is my adventure, this is my journey.
I need to climb this mountain and reach its peak,
For I need to remind myself that I’m not weak.
