Guide.

Let that pain
be your guide
for tomorrow.
Today,
you bear it.
Tomorrow,
With pride,
you wear it.
– Stay strong.
– Abhishek Gupta.

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.

Why?

It’s your choice, to choose,
happiness over sadness.
I’ve heard this, from many.
Well, I chose happiness.
I chose bliss, over sorrow.
I chose freedom.
Then why am I still imprisoned,
inside my own head, with sadness?
Why am I still, alone, trapped with rage?
If it was my choice, then,
why am I still drenched in
pain, sorrow, and suffering?
Maybe, ’cause, I chose happiness,
but happiness, didn’t choose me.
– Bipolarity.

Breathe.

Why to stress over things,
things which is not even worth,
your time, your energy?
Why to stress over people,
people who broke you,
hurt you, brought you pain?
Why to stress over, anything,
that’s not ever going to change?

Why would you take stress,
knowing it’s not going to help you,
knowing that you’re going to fall
into that self made delf of torment.
Stop, thinking, about things,
you cannot change, you cannot mend.
Stop, ’cause you’re just making
everything​ harder, for your ownself​.

– Breathe.

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.

– Abhishek Gupta.

Regret.

I don’t regret you.

I don’t, for you were once my muse.

You still are, but now,

the reasons have changed.

I, then, used to write for you, love.

I, now, write to get rid of the pain.

The pain, the suffering, 

you brought upon me.

– I don’t regret you.

– Abhishek Gupta.

Endless.

Endless.

Pain.

Sorrow.

People grieving.

Discrimination.

Hatred.

But, let me tell you,

What else is endless.

Love.

Happiness.

People looking out for each other.

Brotherhood.

Humanity.

What you do defines you as a person.

So, what would you choose?

For whatever the choice might be,

the fact will remain, constant.

// It will be, endless //
