Expressionless

I never weep,
For weeping is a sign;
A sign that I am living.

I never break,
For breaking is a sign;
A sign that there is a soul
Living within this obscure body.

I never laugh,
For laughing is a sign;
A sign that proves I can feel.

I never gasp,
For gasping is a sign;
A sign that I can breathe.

I never love,
For love is a sign;
A sign that I survive.

I never live,
For living is a sign;
A sign that I am functioning.

I remain expressionless
For I will never see the light
At this darkened tunnel.

I remain cold
For I have grown accustom
To the world I am bound to.

I remain distant
For I do not want
My heart to break.

You must see,
In my world
No can neither
Feel nor live
But parish all the same.

Because to crack a smile,
Is to crack the mask
