Mind Heart Soul

Attention

i'm an attention seeker
a faux weeper
an enemy of the truth
all my lies are coming loose
i need to be loved
to be cherished
and validated
i'm so unreal
it'll make you sedated
sorry for all this
you can tell me to go if you wish
see i get lonely a lot
and then i start to plot
ways for me to shine
i'll pretend i drank a glass of wine
everyone will worry
their minds scattered and hurried
while i sit satisfied
waiting for myself to be gratified
