Seeking Attention

Constant0123456789

I learned how to stop crying,

            Years ago, I don’t really remember.

I was told you need a reason to cry,

            But I could never put it into words.

 

She’s just seeking attention.

 

I see people with scars on their arms,

            Self-inflicted, with knives they keep close,

People would say how horrible it was,

            How wrong it was to mark yourself.

 

He’s just seeking attention.

 

I’d  hear about a headline tragedy,

            People who’d jumped,

People who’d bled,

            People who’d crashed.

 

They’re just seeking attention.

 

I’m not seeking attention, I don’t cry,

I’m not seeking attention, I don’t cut,

I’m not seeking attention, I’m still here,

 

So why do you ignore me?
