Attention 1.0

Bookmark
HomePoetryAttention 1.0

sometimes my mind goes racing 
wondering what people must be thinking 
then I start to wonder 
what do I think of myself? 
yeah, at times I can be an asshole 
but what choices do I have? 
it’s clear to me that I’m different 
not trying to say I’m better than anyone 
it’s just that my priorities 
don’t rely on me impressing anybody 
I simply am who I am 

so find someone that needs it 
gets down on their knees to please for it 
breaks hearts just to clench upon it 
backstabs a friend for a moment of it 
never me, so find someone else to give 
your attention 

one man’s trash is another man’s art 
so why would I waste my time 
doing what others expect?
attention is given to the least deserving
we hold no value in creativity
now we have a whole generation of drones
no one knows how to feel
so they chock down more pills
and when that doesn’t work
they’re handed devices
from parents who are dead inside

so find someone that craves it
whores themselves all over the Internet for it
would kill just to hold on a little longer to it
go to any length for a bitter taste of it
never me, so find someone else to give
your attention

I’ve met a few click seekers
so good they have it down to a T
they’ll come to me in desperation
and I try helping out the best I could
then they’ll turn their back
going on to the next sucker
with a Charms wrapper over their head
playing anyone who will give flatteries
guess ignorance is bliss
but best not say something too witty
and get someone all pissy
like a damp kitty
