Dreams, I had.
To achieve, I left.
Left alone, I am, now.
Baffled, I feel, among everyone
Amazed too, sometimes.
Looking at this world.
Strangers everywhere.
I want to smell, my land, again.
I want to see, my people, again.
But, This path I’ve chosen.
I have to keep walking.
Not certain I am, where it’ll lead me.
But I will not stop.
Not, until my last breath.
– I will conquer my fear.
– Abhishek Gupta.
My friends think I’m a spoiled brat.
Some say I’m blunt.
Some say I’m rude.
But hey, that doesn’t make a spoiled brat.
That’s just who I am.
That’s my attitude.
No, I do not come from a rich background.
I’ve seen all the luxuries of life.
I’ve also seen bitterness of it, the strife.
I’ve seen it all. The Good. The Bad.
I’ve felt that hunger, making me go, mad.
I’ve seen my ma and pa at their peak.
But, I’ve also seen them fallen down,
When sorrow surrounded us, and,
everything felt just bleak.
Yes, I am a bit skeptical,
I am a bit blunt, a bit rude,
And you know what?
I don’t even care about being booed.
My father and my mother gave me this life,
A happy, luxurious and comfortable life.
But they’ve always lived theirs in simplicity.
I’ve seen my family, rich, touching the sky,
But I’ve also seen them crumbling down.
I’ve learned from my father and my mother,
To never give up, to never lose faith.
I’ve seen them building an empire, again,
From the scratches, facing all the Wraith.
Go ahead, come on, NOW judge me.
For everyone, I ever met,
have always done that.
I might look tough, I might look rough,
I might sometimes be a prick,
But before you judge me,
Come, my friend, take a dive into my life,
Look, for real, who I am,
beneath this rugged skin.
A son, a brother, a broken lover.
Dive into my life, and you’ll know,
Why people say this phrase.
– Never judge a book by its cover.

Your grades won’t help you to become a better person. You study to gain knowledge, that’s the main objective of studying. Scoring good percentage and getting good grades is a different thing. Each human mind is different from another. They work differently. My brain cannot function the same way as yours and vice versa. Good grades or not, you’ll succeed in your life. Just believe in yourself. Trust yourself. #KnowledgeMatters

Paranoid to meet new people.
Rejection follows wherever you go.
Humans are not what you expect
them to be all the time.
Some humans will embrace you with love,
Some will give you hatred for no reason.
You cannot blend in with this society.
You cannot mix up with the people.
For you are not meant for it.
For you are meant to stand out.
Be proud of who you are.
Be proud of what you are.
For you are.
– Different.
– Abhishek Gupta.
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.
– Abhishek Gupta.
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.
Feeling restless,
I’m sitting out in this field.
Looking at the sky,
Contemplating about my life.
From it what have I yield?
Stepping into adulthood, now,
I can feel it, how paranoid, I am.
There are so many things, in my mind,
But there’s no one I could confide in.
Behind this strong, rough face,
There’s a paranoid little chap hiding.
No one cares to ask, what I feel,
So every night, I look at the sky,
Where she comes out,
Listens to all my stories,
All my fears and all my glories.
I consider, in my life,
she has come as a boon,
For I spend my every night,
Talking to her. Talking to the moon.
– Shine.
– Abhishek Gupta.
It’s a hard world to be different in.
Why is it so hard for people to accept other people the way these other people are? Why can’t uncanny be considered beautiful? Why does a person, who’s different, has to be treated as a cast out? Why can’t that different person just stay different and be happy? Why can’t Y’all just let that person be, what that person is?
Stop judging. Stop hating. Stop trying to control.
For the love of God. Just stop.
– Live and let live.
– Abhishek Gupta.
We’re going to keep writing, forever,
for, we can never stop,
for, we won’t stop.
We can never be empty,
empty, of emotions and feelings,
’cause, just like a jar,
when it’s empty,
someone comes and fills it again,
and that’s the beauty of it,
of us, of everyone who writes.
They can never stop,
for, it’s an endless loop,
and endless cycle.
We feel. We write. We vent.
We do it all over again.
– Words matter.
– Abhishek Gupta.
I’m burning in agony.
This is the result of your felony.
Strangers we’ve become,
A constant struggle,
My life has become.
Lonesome nights,
Drowning in rum.
A crucial situation, filled with,
Agitation,
Aggression,
Hesitation,
I have become a living example of negation.
Whether to love. Whether to hate.
So confused, I cannot even interpret.
I guess I have to accept now,
Accept my gruesome fate.
– Abhishek Gupta.
