The Stoic

x
An unflinching face
An unblinking eye
You won't see me laugh
Nor e'er see me cry

Unemotional, blank
Poker-faced stare
No sadness, joy, anger
Pain, shame, or care

You will never know
What I am thinking
Expressionless eyes
Never stop drinking

Of people and things
All that's around me
Ears quite in tune to
The noise that surrounds me

Cannot feel me out
Mind's always aware, but
You'll never know what's
Going on in there!
