Surina Gupta Poem
I never felt like anyone
Should take their life away
Now I’ve started to run
Wondering if I’m late
These games of tears
Sipping poisoned lakes
Knowing that we fear
All the lies we ate
Reminiscing on
Society's abuse and hate
Singing songs of love
While we fill our plates
With blissful ignorance
We know it’s free to take
When society is
In a brainwashed state
And we are not what we want
But we are what we all see
When others’ tragedies come around
Our knees will go weak
And then there will be
Dreadful lies
Mixed with ocean tides
Do you see water or blood at your feet?

Surina Gupta Poem
Darling,
Don’t you know I can’t see,
Past all those bills and stacks of green?
You think I have a heart,
Well, you’re in for a surprise.
I’ve never had one; I always lied.
So I’ll take my time to be yours.
Cause I’ve got something in my eye,
And I can’t see you clearly.
The bill is staining my eyes green,
And I’m in much too deep.
And sorry,
I’ve got money in my ears.
I can’t hear a thing you say,
When we walked on the same path,
Yet I still couldn’t hear you call my name.
The day you finally found me,
My veins were green as blades of grass.
You thought you could change the way I was,
But I was too buried in my past.
And darling,
I’ve got money in my mouth.
It’s why I never talk that much.
People think I’m shy, but I,
Just haven’t gotten the same green rush.
And darling,
I’ve got money in my heart.
And it’s filled to the brim,
So I can’t find any room for you in there.
Our goals are worlds apart.
Is “its fair?”
A question we can ask,
When we’ve pushed the good hearted
Into the dark,
Letting them all fall apart?
