In a silent room

I walked inside a room,
Silent and cold it was.

I saw faces looking back at me.
Slowly forcing a smile,
Greeting me.

The eyes, but seems dismal,
The faces looked fatigued and lifeless.

But the faces were trying their best,
To appear cheerful and vivacious.

Quietly I walked in.
In the cold and silent room.
Staring in the mirrors, covering all the walls.
