Today I saw a man dying.
After he was gone,
I saw him and his eyes.
They were looking at me,
open wide.
My eyes, too, are open.
But I’m dead inside.
That’s the difference.
He’s actually dead, and,
I’m barely alive.
-Abhishek Gupta.
I am here.
Right here.
Where I was.
Standing still.
Waiting for you.
To look back once.
But you won’t.
You always,
used to say,
life goes on.
But mine,
It stopped.
I am here.
Right here.

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
No matter how broke you are.
No matter how lonely you feel.
No matter how gloomy life becomes.
Don’t lose that smile.
Don’t you dare, lose it.
When the darkness will consume,
you, your life and your heart.
When your mind will be foreshadowed
by thoughts sick and grim.
That smile, will act as your
Knight in the shining armour.
Because, when nothing in
your life will make sense,
and you’ll feel there’s no
point staying here, in this
world filled with humans
whose hearts are so
corrupt that even the devil
would think twice before
making a deal with them.
Your smile, it will remind,
you and the people around,
that one should never give up,
because of the people around,
because they don’t even matter.
What matters, in the end,
is you, and your happiness.
Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
Smile, even in your darkest times.
Because your smile might give,
someone else the strength to fight.

एक खाली खुली किताब सी ही है मेरी ज़िन्दगी।
लोग आते है, और पन्नों पर अपना नाम लिख,
फिर कहीं दूर, मुझे तन्हा छोड़, चले जाते है।
I understand, that you want to make everyone happy and not hurt them. But, you need to understand too, that you can’t make everyone happy. Because sometimes, doing what makes you happy, might make someone unhappy. Don’t make others happy, at the cost of your own happiness.

It’s been awhile now,
That you’ve been gone.
I sleep on the same bed
on which we used to, together.
It’s the same bed, but,
I don’t know why it feels
just a little bit bigger now.
I still water the plants, which grew
from the seeds, that you had sown.
It’s been awhile now,
That you’ve been gone.
-Abhishek Gupta.
I gave you my heart,
for you asked me to.
It was hard for me,
but I trusted you.
But you did exactly,
What you said you wouldn’t.
You broke it, again, and,
Now I just sit in silence.
-Abhishek Gupta.
You might still love and miss some toxic people who were once in your life, I know this because I do, but you need to not let the vulnerability take control of you. They were cut off from your life, because they were toxic, so let them stay that way, and you bloom like a flower.

Making a mistake is not a bad thing. Making a mistake is a very human thing, but what’s wrong is if you ignore the fact that you did something wrong, and choose not to learn from it.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Try not to be rude & harsh to someone, please? You might forget the things you said to someone the very next day, which might’ve possibly hurt his/her feelings, but here’s the thing, the person who was hurt in the process, will never forget your words. Be kind, to everyone.
