Useless emotions

Look at my eyes, what do you see
I can see hidden tears unshed
Tears of pain and miseries
That always wet your saddened bed

Look at my legs, what do you see 
I can see tired and timid legs
Too afraid to move towards your dreams
Instead of moving towards it, they fled

Look at my tongue,what do you see
I can see a tied tongue
Hesitating to state it seeings and feelings
Tis good to be silent but sometimes wrong

Look at my hands, what do you see 
I can see the power to change your destiny
For it is written on your  palms 
In letters only you can understand

You can change the tears to a joyful one
You can start moving your timid legs
You can be the owner of your tongue
Your hands are not meant to be folded
