Questions Unanswered Poem by Saptarshi Banerjee

Why did I beg, why did I try?
When I failed why did I cry?
When did you depart my soul?
Where are you my dignity, my shy?

How did I fail, How could I cry?
Questions plenty-
Yet seldom a reply.

Why did you try? Why did you lose?
What was your fear? Why resort to booze?
Why strengthen your mind when your heart is still so weak?
Why burden ourselves when emotion still at its peak?

Why look back or dare the coming morn?
Why let people tell us we were a petty corn?

Why let people pity?
Why let people show?
Why did we fail?
We are yet to know.
