subtle reminders manipulative by nature

still trying to get over it
feeling bad or guilty when i don't wanna do something
but somehow feel obligated
even more i don't wanna

and i'm not a teen ager
so peer pressure should not be in my vocabulary
but kids as you get older
one thing your peers become better as is pressure

and if you're strong and not driven by a strange desire
to please or relieve your own guilt
or a fear of being alone
you can head it off at the pass
but if you feel bad, feel guilty
conscientous about people's feelings to the pure neglect of your own
then you'll have problems
people will know and use it against you
for thier good

mostly its a fear might to pass up some opportunity
but if to pass em anyway, why even bother
give people the wrong impression
that you might give a damn, be available when they need you
no, you won't so why even bother

thats where i am finally getting to
the place where i recognize
the only people i mess with are people who let me be me
don't expect anything
and don't get mad, sad

the ones that do
co-dependent too
will nip at your heels
you are their unsuspecting prey

with subtle reminders that are manipulative by nature
give an inch and they will take a mile
