Attention Is What She Craves

She just wants to be noticed Attention is what she craves No one feels her pain No one sees her scars A disappointment and an empty heart She thinks no better of herself So what does she do? She takes that blade She slits her wrists She cuts, she cuts, she cuts “Why do you do this to me?” The blood drips as she cries She goes to school People laugh, people stare Why does nobody see it? Why does nobody care? She sits on a bench, bullied and scared She doesn’t know what to do now What will make them see? What will make them care? She just wants to be noticed Attention is what she craves No one feels her pain No one sees her scars A disappointment and an empty heart She thinks no better of herself So what does she do? She takes that gun She pulls that trigger “Oh, they’ll notice now” The blood pools, she no longer needs to cry “Why do you do this to me?” She just wants to be noticed Attention is what she craves
