Attention



I want to be seen
I want to be heard
I crave attention
I know it's absurd

Act like I don't care
Just shrug it off
All I want is attention
I can't seem to get enough

Reaching out for it
Imagining how it would go
So much attention is what I see
Look how much attention
All for me

I want to be seen
I want to be heard
I crave attention
I know it's absurd
