Forced

There may come a time,
When your life ends.
When your smiles fade,
And your laughs quiet,
And yet, your heart still beats.

There may come a time when all you want to do is sleep.
When you just want to hideaway.
When you want to shut out the world,
And never see the light,
And yet you are forced to be.

Your movements feel forced.
Your laughs feel forced.
Your smiles feel forced.
Your conversations feel forced.
Your breath feels forced,
And yet you still do.

You smile,
You laugh,
You live a life you don't want to live,
And yet you still do.

Not for you but for them.
