Attention Seeking Disorder With Histrionics

In a world where silence screams,
Attention seeks your every night and day.
Triggers lurk in screens turned white,
Flickering lights an endless sight.

Likes and shares, currency prized,
Validation sought, a dead end road.
In every utterance, a plea unseen,
For hearts and eyes, search endlessly.

Amidst the noise, a whisper groans,
No peace within, where this attention turned.
