Duality.

The concept of duality is not new. Everybody has got a side which they never show anyone. Nobody is pure and pious. Our world is made up of black and white, good and bad, yin-yang. This is the universal truth. People veil themselves and pretend to be something they’re not, hiding behind those pretty smiling faces.
This is duality. Be yourself. Be free.

Change yourself.

I am just a being, trying to be human.
Baffled, amongst whom, I’m living.
Animals or humans, who is more sane.
Atrocities of humans are making me sick.
I can hear it, in this silence, the clock’s tick.
It’s not too late, o ye homo sapiens.
You’re still not worthy to be called humans.
Do not try to become a god,
Do not try, for you’re not.
Live and let others live.
No, here, there’s no intended pun.
I am just a being, trying to be human.

– Change yourself.

O ye young chap.

Don’t stop.
Fight. Move forward. Lose.
Get back up.
Fight. Move forward. Win.
Don’t stop.
Black. Brown. White.
The color doesn’t matter.
Only your path should be right.
Fight. O ye young chap. Fight.
– Don’t stop.
– Abhishek Gupta.

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.

– Abhishek Gupta

Understand yourself.

Others, are not going to understand.

Others, are not going to hold your hand.

Others, are an amalgamation, of both, fair and foul.

They’re like a pack of wolves, always ready to howl.

Some, will stand​ by your side, and,

some, will become your adversaries.

Not everyone is going to understand, you.

Not everyone has a heart, as kind as yours.

You will face, ado, on every step that you’ll take.

Failure, you might face, you will face, at times.

Malaise, that might make you feel,

it might make you feel like giving up, 

but never, ever, let these thoughts, consume you.

Take control over your mind​, my friend.

Brace yourself, for this first, for you need to.

Brace yourself, to face failure, for you will.

Brace yourself, for you need to make yourself

strong, so that you don’t give up, in the end.

Others, will face, yes, they will, what’s in their fate.

But first, my friend, you need to understand, 

understand yourself, ’cause others, can wait.

– Fight for justice.

Answer me.

Afar, we were, for a long time.

Afar, we were, for you walked away.

Love, is what I thought, we had for each other.

Here, you were, with me, in my days,

in my days, when they were bright.

But, you hurled me away, left me, when

I was facing the darkest time of my life?

Never, you came back, 

Never, you explained,

why you wreaked havoc on me?

My love, this heart, belonged to you,

and you crushed it into pieces,

leaving this wreckage behind,

this wreckage of misery.

Today, here, I see you, 

Today, here, I see you,

with someone, you say, you love.

Isn’t that, exactly, what you once,

used to tell me, too?

Answers, I want from you.

‘Cause, I deserve to know, why,

why did I suffer so much,

why did you put me through

those torments that tore me apart?

Answers, I want from you.

‘Cause, you walked away, so quietly,

without saying a word, vanished, from my life,

as if we, us, together, never existed, leaving,

not even a single, not even a single, trace.

Answers, I want from you.

‘Cause, now that we’re here,

right here, standing, face to face.

– Agony.

Love is a gamble.

I love you. I really do.

But I’ll not ruin my life.

Not again, not this time.

Love never has brought

anything good to me.

It has always been a source

of sorrow and despair, for me.

My heart has been broken by those,

who said they loved me.

My trust has been broken by those,

Who said they’d never break it.

Tired, I am, of these betrayals.

Tired, I am, of my heart being broken.

Tired, I am, of my unfortunate destiny.

I know, giving chances to people is good.

I wish, I could’ve given you, another one.

But, my love, I cannot, for now, I am done

I love you. I really do.

But I’ll not ruin my life.

Not again, not this time.

– Love is a gamble.

– Abhishek Gupta.

I care.

I care.

I still care.

My bipolarity overpowers me.

Yesterday, there was no love, no care,

but, today I feel it, again, that I care.

I care about you, even though,

It doesn’t matter to you, 

if I’m alive or am I dead.

I care, because, there’s still,

some love left inside of me.

It terrifies me how much I care.

I would still do anything for you.

I care.

I still care.

– Love is evil.

– Abhishek Gupta.

Never surrender.

Intimidating, some situations might be.

Intimidating, some people might be.

No matter, how excruciated you feel.

No matter, how vulnerable you feel.

Nothing should stop you.

Neither the pain, nor the paranoia.

Not even you, yourself.

Nothing should stop you.

Go, you shall win.

Go, for no one can stop you.

It’s the fear, your fear, overpowering​ you.

Retaliate and kill, this fear, which dwells within.

Without any further ado, go and fight.

It’s not going to be easy, I never said that,

but, you shall win, for, you need to win.

Giving up, is not what your father taught you.

Giving up, is not what your mother raised you for.

Rise, fight, like a fighter. You might stumble.

You might fall. It’s okay, get up and stand

on your feet, every time, when you fall down, but

– Never surrender.

– Never surrender.
