WHEN WE ARE FORCED, by Faith Edoja Subscribe to rss feed for Faith Edoja


I ate the food but i didn't savor the taste,
i ate it just because i had to.

I danced to the rytheme of the gong but not with delight, i
danced to fulfill my part in this sacred ballet.

I sang the song but not with passion,i sang for my voice to
be heard among the choir.

I ran the race but not with focus,i ran so that i too might
be seen on the tracks too.

I loved yes,but not with my mind,body and soul,i loved just
because of pressure.

I can never do it right
my light can never shine bright
you can never do it right,
we can never do it right when we are forced to do so.
