Say No to Drugs!

If you are facing a problem and you feel stuck,

Talk it out to find a solution, don't blame it on bad luck,

It's okay to feel depressed but it's not okay to make your life hell,

Try to live in the present, in the past you must not dwell, 

There is no one in this world in whose life there's no sorrow,

But we all must try to live for a better tomorrow,

The path of drugs you must never choose,

Even if asked to try, you must refuse,

Life is a gift so precious,

Don't indulge it in something so vicious,

It's a trap that might appear fascinating,

But once you're caught in it, it becomes suffocating,

It will become hard to break the addiction,

You'll end up losing your life's every ambition,

Don't let it happen to you,

Coz it's not only you who will suffer,

But your loved ones will find it even more tougher,

To see you in a situation so hopeless,

All they will feel is helpless,

Live through the struggles of life, as that's how it's meant to be,

You are not alone, look around, everyone has their share of troubles, you see!

तू कहाँ था

A deeply emotional Hindi poem about betrayal, abandonment, and hypocrisy. The poet questions the absence of someone close during moments of pain, struggle, and humiliation, while others mocked wounds, blamed the sufferer, and took advantage of vulnerability. The repeated phrase “Where were you?” intensifies the feeling of heartbreak and disappointment.
