Ajax (he/xe)

Attention

I crave attention,

it sounds bad but it\'s true.

I crave attention, 

because I never got any from you. 

 

I won\'t tell you I cut myself

but I\'ll drop a few hints

because maybe, somehow

you\'ll notice how I wince.

 

I won\'t tell you I starve myself,

that I purge and restrict,

but I want you to know

about the pain I inflict

 

I want to be comforted,

be told it\'s okay

I want to be held,

though I push you away

 

I need this from you,

Though I won\'t ever say.
