“Don't Hide Your Past (The Sonnet)

The first few minutes of my first
stage talk were absolute disaster.
First few books were mere intellectual
commentary, lacking in original Naskar.

Don't beat yourself up for the
follies of your early years.
Doesn't matter, you made mistakes,
what counts is, you outgrew your errors.

If a life claims a flawless history,
rest assured, it's a concoction of lies.
Flawlessness is mark of lifelessness,
to be alive means to be battered by cries.

Mistakes are the cornerstones of clarity,
they wire your unique perception in place.
Absence of error is the end of living sanity,
to fabricate your past is to obliterate yourself.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

bars forged from fears you once called armor,
now rusted, bleeding into the veins of your dreams.
Each step is tethered to the weight of who you were,
but that old skin no longer fits your bones.


Look down—
your shadow clings like a desperate lover,
begging you to stay.
But beyond the edge, the wind whispers
of freedom,
of shedding this worn-out shell.”
― Sean Delaney

“It’s like watching a horizon disappear behind you,
the version of yourself you once clung to
fading into the distance—
and ahead, a sea of possibilities
so vast, it drowns you
in the thrill of becoming.”
― Sean DeLaney

“The fear of falling is real,
but the weight of standing still is heavier.

of standing on air.”

“Here’s the thing—
pain doesn’t come to break you.

revealing pieces of yourself long hidden,
even from your own heart.”
