On many occasions we become dumbfounded, can’t express anything vocally, can’t utter a single syllable or when we sit to write the words ditch us, can’t write anything cohorently. I too have found myself several times in this situation.
Being a student of Literature, I always played with words, could dream up essays or poems in no time but since last few years I find myself having what you call a Writer’s Block. I am unable to write anything worthy, have difficulty expressing myself, sigh!! don’t know when it will unblock.
Another time I get dumbstruck is when I am overwhelmed, I just can’t speak, get too emotional to say anything. These are some occasions when I find many people become dumbstruck and feel that words have ditched them.
When you are taken for granted by the people whom you care for, you feel used and don’t know how to react.
When your love is thwarted by the person whom you love more than anyone in the world, who is the centre of your universe.
When someone blames you for their failures when you have not even contributed towards their failure.
When someone blames you for a loveless life as they had to leave the person they love for you.
When someone backstabs you, whom you thought was your friend and confidante.
When you meet someone close to you, after a long time and you both have changed and don’t know each other as well as before.
When you are sad and feeling miserable, you want to cry, silent tears fall on your heart but can’t utter a single syllable.
When someone thinks of you as a third angle in the triangle, all the while knowing the truth that in no way you are the third angle.
When you standby others through thick and then, they suddenly leave you alone and with the feeling of helplessness.
When you are there for someone in their need and when you need them they are never there for you, they don’t even tend to acknowledge your presence, you feel used.
When you need a shoulder to cry , someone offers you their shoulder to cry, you let tears roll and you do not need words.
When somebody says goodbye forever, you know that person will never return, you want to stop that person, you want to stop him/her but you fingers become too numb to hold on, your lips quiver, you want to speak but you lose the power of speech, you just collapse.
