The poet asks the readers to accompany him through the journey of his life which has been a pale and dull experience for him. The poem speaks about the unhappy life of Prufrock as he thinks that a much larger part of his life as ended. He also terrifies at the fact that he will be laughed at by the people as he had a failure of not achieving things at the proper age.

He fears that if he'll ask his questions, he will be mocked and be ridiculed.
