Be who you are

You are AMAZING. You’re different from the rest of the people out there, which makes them jealous. So don’t let their harsh words define you. Not others, but your actions defines you. ALWAYS remember this.

BE WHO YOU ARE.

No strings attached

No strings attached.
A phrase, I have followed my whole life.

I remember, how I once helped my best friend,
Back in the school days, by covering up
for him, saying that it was my mistake,
that the window’s glass got broken.
Well, I paid a price for it then.
I got suspended for a day.
But I did it with no strings attached.
I did it to save my friend, right?

I also remember, how I helped a teacher once,
In my college, when the a group of
students complained against her
to the principal, and it was a false complaint.
So, I stood by her side, and I chose to embrace
the enemity of my own classmates.
I did that, and I was okay with it,
because I have always followed
the path of righteousness.

There are innumerable incidents like these.
Where I did things, with no strings attached.
But is it the Truth?

Here’s the another side of this story.

I remember, how my best friend,
For whom, I was always there, left me alone,
When I was at my lowest and needed him the most.
The same person, whose mistakes I used to cover.
The same person, whom I trusted the most.

I also remember, how the same teacher,
For whom I stood against my own classmates,
Didn’t stood my by side,
when I in a state of depression.
All I asked her was to give me
some more time, to recover from it.
All I wanted was to see my parents,
but she didn’t grant me the leave.
She didn’t care about my mental health.

We all think that we do things selflessly.
Which we do, to be honest.
But somewhere, inside,
we do expect from these people.

And here’s the thing, it’s okay, to expect.
We’re humans and we do expect from
the people whom we think we’re close to.

We might say that there are no strings attached.
But the truth is, we’ll always expect a li’l from them.

Toy

I, sometimes, wonder.
If you still, see my photos,
regretting, what you did to me.

But then I realize,
I was a mere toy,
for you, with whom,
you played and
moved on to
another one.

Letter

To,
The person whom I once loved.

I have nothing but hatred in my heart, for you, but underneath this charade of hatred, there’s still some love left, for you, and it always will.

With love,
Abhishek Gupta.

Rukawatein

Rukawatein toh zindagi mein humesa aati rehti hai, par baat kuch aisi hai, ke maine mushkilon se darkar kabhi rukna nahi seekha.

Silence

Silence is the most
confusing gesture.
It’s the sign of,
love and hatred, both.

You’ll never know,
what’s actually going
on in a person’s mind.

Conversation

– You’ll be loved, forever.
Embrace my love for you.
Let me put an end
to your nightmare.

– But darling, you’re no different.
Same words, different person.
No one can put an end to this
nightmare I’ve been living in.
Darling, you’re no different.

Rang

Girgit se zada
jaldi rang badalte,
aur saanp se zada
zehereeley hote
hai ye insaan.

Shayad isliye
wo rab bhi chahta
hai ke mai akela
hi reh jaun.

Success

Some people might
overlook and never
appreciate the fact
that you’ve become
successful today because
of you sheer dedication.

But your loved ones
won’t ever forget this.
They won’t ever forget that
your present is the outcome
of your past and it reflects
how strong you’ve
become than you
once used to be.
