Captured and Free

I know people who are captured but free.
These people live lives of discomfort but no one sees.
They try to be happy but inside are torn down.
They wear a smile on their face but their soul wears a frown.
Will they endure until they are free?

I know people who are captured but free.
They get lost in their thoughts.
They feel comfort in solitude.
They need to be surrounded.
Will they endure until they are free?

I know people who are captured but free.
They carry the weight of regret.
They plead for release every day.
They find peace in words.
Will they endure until they are free?
