Attention seekers?

Im sitting with you talking as usual

Waiting around for class

I go silent without knowing

And you call out my name

Wondering if I'm ok.

I'm fine of course is my response

To a question you ask so often

And no I'm not lying just thinking that's all

But thanks for the "What's wrong?"

It's more than I can say for the others

Who laugh and sneer and reject

Who make others cry and never reflect

Reflect on themselves and see just maybe

That what they're doing is hurting others no see

Instead they laugh and make their little jokes

And don't question how much it matters

Instead they rip and laugh and leave everyone else in tatters

In a pile of broken parts left on the floor

For everyone to walk by

And not say anything more

And when they scream for when they cry

They're called attention seekers

And fakers and nothing else can get by

I hear my name and I turned to you

I smile and reply I'm fine

And I know what you think

I can see what you see

But believe me it is no lie
