Tatianna Leachet Poet Lyric

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

Doug Vinson November 29, 2016 at 5:53 AM Hi Tatianna. Ouch, but straightforward truth, there, and it seems there's more of such things in our modern world, or at least we hear about it more now. Tatianna Leachet November 29, 2016 at 5:58 AM Yes, I like to write about the real world and only sugar coat if needed to. Things like this happen so often, and being a high school student, I am exposed to the mass of it. I use myself as inspiration for most of my work, my life, my stories, my pains.
