Happy Or Unhappy?

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.

Silence

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.

Bloom

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.

Mistake

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.

Be kind

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.

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.
