Silent resignation

There are some days,

I come face to face,

all the disappointments, 

expectations not met...

And it pours,

drowning me with sadness,

feeling hopeless & being lost,

reeling with an aching heart. 

I tried, to remain unperturbed, 

using distractions, and escape,

from effects of these ruminations, 

the mental sufferings, they caused.

It's all in our mind, I thought,

yet, physical experiences, nadir...

I accustomed, to the realities,

following through my routine. 

So I pondered, in such moments,

have I really become disinterested, 

losing the desires, or aspirations, 

numbing, my feelings & emotions. 

Then, a voice spoke, deep inside,

to have faith, keep hopes alive,

even facing betrayals, & in failures,

don't abandon, keep on wishing... 

And not live a life...

Of silent resignation!
