Attention Seeker
By: Shuri
🪶
They say I was quiet at first
But long enough, I'll be loud and be the worst
Sorry if it feels like I'm a psychopath,
Just that it's getting lonely when no one's got my back
🪶
I want all those flashing lights.
Come here and give me the spotlight
I'm sick of crying in the dark
In this world, let me leave my mark.
🪶
I am an attention seeker, not gonna lie.
I've always known, and I always know why
Ignoring me is my kryptonite
Shouting with my voice is the only way I can fight
🪶
I'd rather die than being tortured like this
I guess I'm the type of person that no one would miss
Just sick of being kind to everyone who doesn't care
Now, if I'm the one who's evil, it isn't fair
🪶
I can see people care for others, I can see them being sad
But can they see me spending my days pretty bad?
Everyone is kind to each other.
While I'm here, overthinking if I'm a bother
🪶
Listen to my thoughts, give me attention
Is there even anyone who would see me as a person?
Torturous years that are worse than dying
Would it just be better if I disappear without a warning?
🪶
