Dubious
by: Patricia

Why do you force me to eat,
When it�s my own choice?
I can stand on my own two feet,
Without listening to your voice.
Stop acting like you care,
Stop asking me what�s wrong.
It�s too much for me to bear,
And my body�s not that strong.

I can�t put up with your ways.
I�ve only got a few more days.
Say I love you once,
And maybe,
I�ll stop these foolish stunts.
