Attention Feed 2

A blank finality now invades a friends eyes you cannot argue with that can you A choice so psychotic and so manipulative it’s emotional blackmail so impinged the attention feed so subtly to its duty and all eyes are turned all thoughts in a detour are returned What about me me, me, me, me is the logical end to the attention feed By now the final card is laid the gamble of sickness has been played and over the edge one final shove or a trip on the shoe strings left intentionally undone and to the free fall, must it fall and everyone must pay attention It is impossible to win this game the outcome in tears is always the same Frenetic, frantic dashed to the wall the mortar and bricks of who is to blame for it all all the stress of helping all the stress of caring and take no pleasure from it at all but die from worry not concerned about me me, me, me, me, me is the logical end to the attention feed Something else to cease upon something desperation can depend upon another faculty another drama another way to feed of off the attention It is not space but escape the bilious hooks so dependently crave and without their target only themselves to save only themselves left to seethe and only themselves left to roll in the broil of the attention feed A blank finality now invades a friends eyes you cannot argue with this can you
