Notice Me!

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



Please notice me; I am someone        Who often is ignored,       While other kids are having fun       Which leaves me sad and bored.
I am the child who won't behave         The way you think I should,           Because attention that kids crave       Won't come when I am good!
Perhaps you will like me someday,               But 'till the day you do,                 Please notice me somehow, some way:          My only hope is you!

    This resonated with me as a retired teacher. I saw kids like this often.
