46 Attention

Why do some humans want attention?
They crave the spotlight
And the fame
And nothing more

I never wanted it yet
On that one day it stalks me
The Ides of March
Beware!

Repeatedly through the day
I'm reminded
I've lived 
Another year

Please,
I don't want to be reminded
It's just another day
Another day in the year
