Everday you see them
Walking towards the building
The prison
Blank faces
Emotionless
As if they were robots
One of the only indications they are not wired manmade machines
Are the bags under their eyes
From lack of sleep
Over worrying and preparing
For exams
Which some may not be worried about
But they are told to worry
In case they arent good enough.
This is told to them by them
Who shout at the robots
For escaping the robotic world
For a minute
And communicating with other robots and expressing emotions,
The one moment of happiness they had is prohibited.

So they continue this life for 14 years
A life of supression.

And you wonder why they hate it.
