Survivor

I am standing at this side of the isle,
And I can see you, going away.
There’s nothing I can do, to stop you.
It’d would be something similar to
Me trying to not let the sand, in my fist, fall down.
See, here’s the thing, even if I try, I know,
It, the sand, is going to vanish in some time.

I don’t know, how to react.
I don’t know, how to enact.
I won’t be fine, well,
that I know, for the fact.
But how good I am
at burying my feelings,
deep inside my chest, alive.
Only I, know that.

But you know what,
I am exhausted now.
I’m tired of putting
that mask, on my face.
That mask of “I’m okay”.
Masquerading,
that I’m strong.
Whilst I’m not.

Consumed by the dark, I am.
Broken inside, yet alive, I am.
Maybe beyond fixing, aloof, I am.

But worry not, about me.
Alone, I might be,
But lonely,
I am not.

I know,
how strong,
I am.
However
my life is,
here’s
the thing,
Alive,
I am.

Maanjhi

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.
Toofan aane par ladkhadayegi,
Par thik se sambhaalo toh
Sambhal bhi jayegi.
Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.

Aapne dusron ki kashti ko
doobte zarur dekha hoga.
Par unki kashti doobi kyunki
Wo usse sambhaal na paaye.
Aur us nazaare ke dar se
Agar aap is vishal samandar
Ki sair ko na nikle,
toh manjhi kaise kehlaoge?

Darr sabko lagta hai,
par dar se darkar agar
Aap pehle hi haar maan loge,
Toh ye zindagi kaise jiyoge?

Ye zindagi tujhe girayegi,
Is zindagi ka dastur yahi hai.
Par gir kar ruk jana,
Ye tera dastur nahi hai.

Uth, badh, par ghabra kar na ruk.
Nikaal kashti aur bhid un lehron se.
Takra, ladkhada, par haar na maan,
Aur jeet kar aa.

Ek naav si hi hoti hai ye zindagi.
Jis disha me le jana chaaho,
Us disha mein hi ye jayegi.

Smile

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.

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.

-Abhishek Gupta.

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.

-Abhishek Gupta.

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.

-Abhishek Gupta.

Comfort

You never tried.
So you failed.
But does it
even count
as a failure,
if you never tried?

No, it doesn’t.
You didn’t fail.
You brought shame,
upon your name,
upon your father’s name.

Life is not easy.
It never will be.
So crawl out of
your comfort.
Only then,
You’ll thrive.

-Abhishek Gupta

Spectacle

My vision is blurry.
I can’t see properly
without my spectacles.

But I still choose not
to wear my spectacles.
For the spectacle I get
when I wear my spectacles,
is of a world filled with
hatred and inhumanity.

Void, I feel, a little more,
every time when I see
where this world’s heading.

-Abhishek Gupta.

Lost

I’ve lost the track of time.
I’ve lost the track of life.
Baffled amongst these
Exorbitant corrupted humans.
Who have even corrupted,
The purest creation of all, love.
I have even lost the track,
That where’s my life heading,
in this dark, dark world?

-Abhishek Gupta.

Level

Level.
A word which
is used by humans,
to measure, things.

Now let me
show y’all,
what humans
use it for.

Standard.
Status.
Money.

What it should
be used for.

Hypocrisy.
Poverty.
Inhumanity.

And, never
for a person’s
mundanity.
