Forced To Be

Forced to be a robot

in a society that feels that

everyone can do everything

all at once

without the slightest struggle

Forced to be a machine.

In a world that thinks

no task is too hard,

no task is too gruelling

to undertake

Forced to be a lion

being able to tackle the greatest things

and only able to be stopped

by a bullet straight in the head 

or the heart

Forced to be taken down

by what I can’t see

because what I can see

Is preoccupying my life and mind

and I’m not allowed to let go of it.
