Tears imprisoned by exhaustion <br />Faces blank, without emotion <br />Hearts beating, but with caution <br />Happiness an unfamiliar notion <br /> <br />Smiles imprisoned by indifference <br />Can't justify our existence <br />Live life through strange insistence <br />Don't care enough to show resistance <br /> <br />Seek that which we cannot see <br />Long to achieve what we cannot be <br />We shall stand still eventually <br />We shall give up entirely<br /><br />The Astronomer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-imprisoned/
