pressure to please

with a gun to my head i smile
the gun in question being a rifle
behind the gun is the old me
tired of the way i seem to be

taking pills to help with the pain
doctor said they will help my brain
feeling numb from my feelings
picking at an orange, i keep peeling

rejecting food until im small
something that wont help at all
i discontinue my choice to eat
i will not continue to take a seat

people making comments about my hair
as if they think that i will not care
"kisses scattered across my face"
karma, you bitch, you know your place.
