A Man Without A Name

I heard a criminal once sayin’ to a judge: to keep me off the streets i will need a suit..

 

i will need a coup i will not need a roof.

 

I guess that's how a man who didn't have a roof over his head since he had his first tooth see the world just fancy cars and suits..

for him dat was the truth.

 

I wouldn’t blame the guy.. he lived in a phone booth!

I blame rest of the world for not showin’ him the proof that he’s innocent..

that he just didn't know life’s truth.

Sometimes i wonder who am i..
am i the same person i used to call me..
Cause sometimes i feel confused
i feel like am another me
he's trying to take over but i want to set me free!
I'm tired of all this..
Tired of explaining who i want to be..
Tired of the expectations they have for me..
tired of the disappointments that happen so constantly..
But i want to make it for once i don't want to let go of me!

Fourth Hour Hallway

Walking down the hallway,

My fourth hour hallway,

People surround me,

Squish me tight.

They drown me in their thoughts

And ways.

Where am I in this crowd?

Just one soul wondering down,

My fourth hour hallway.

Woman's true

A woman who bears all
A woman who lives every moment up
A woman who lives for all
A woman who has dreams Setti
A woman who is a mine of gems
A woman who has no identity
Every minute a woman who is blasphemous
A woman who just takes the burden of life

There's a mirror in the corner of a crowded room.
Where it lies it can only reflect the truth.
The room is in dissaray.
objects crowd the floor.
Dust gathers in empty trays
that once carried something more.
And the mirror sits there.
In the corner where
it can't bare
to show the room
the truth it must-

Hello,            

No name, no identification            

Nestled in the eyes of a dream            

Is placed on the step by step            

Be the realization of this dream            

To find the size of the floor            

With this hope I Manisha Gupta            

Strive to find an identity unlike the world           

Let me also recognize the                      

Thanks

I had a dream.. where I could be everything I want to be..

There was no limits..

It was so surreal.. yet in the same time so vivid


I somehow knew it was all a fantasy..

But I really wanted to live it...


It was such a beautiful place...

Full of equality, tranquility and peace

Full of mutual respect, honesty and selflessness

A harsh spoke word my tongue confess

A spoken curse upon you dressed

A sprouting weed from heart’s full wilt

Are words from which bring my soul’s guilt

 

Deceptive love, brought with it lies

Absence from which I can’t disguise

I plead you know I’d no desire

That you would hurt today or prior

We’ll walk barefoot in the forest, red sun in the trees

We’ll talk of past, of future, and reasons for why we

Should escape off to a land afar,

Picking daisies from the long dead scars.

 

We’ll talk to the passing birds, of the world today,

Of the dusted rusting dreams and how we’ll fly away

The world from there a far off myst’ry

Forget it all, we’ll make new history.

Morning’s first pierce of light brings sudden cease to all who rests

Honey golden drops of sun sent over frosted harvests.

A wooden stage, its beams still damp,

The rope from which it hangs, to cramp

The time has come, to face the test

To face my fears that may protest

Will a nightingale still sound as sweet,

Once a gilded cage has bound its feet?

Will she still desire her lungs to sing,

Once her master has clipped short her wings?

 

Will she cry out for her longed release?

Days gone past, will her tears yet cease?

Will she ever sound like she once did call?

After her wings once again grow tall?

Covered in satin sheets.

underneath them clad in nothing but me.

Rolling around throbbing with passion, ready and ripe for ecstasy.

Im yours if you’re brave enough to do the asking, the courage worth it.

I’ll do things that the impressions will be forever lasting.

No making love in this, your heart then I would be smashing.

Put out my fire, quench my thirst.

Always remember ladies come first.
