Asked I was, "Why this silence; why are you on mode mute ?
You were always so charming , enthusiastic and  cute !
Towards the family n society so much you did contribute.
Then why suddenly have you gone on mode mute ?"

I said, "I too think there is something terribly wrong.
Earlier I was as happy as a lark; on my lips,there was always a song.
Suddenly life worthless seems, difficult it is to get along.
Danced and laughed I haven't since long.

Weary and tired I feel; many times, helpless too.
Though know I, I must to my ideals stick, like glue.
Given an opportunity, wish I, a lot to achieve and do.
Because of chances slim or indifference, I often rue."
