Center of Attention

Did I ever mention
that I am always at the Center of Attention 
even when I try my best
not be like the rest?


What do others see
in me?
I want to be a ghost
but end up being a host.


It sounds ridiculous 
but even when I try to be inconspicious 
I am spotted by the spies
with their eagle eyes.


Maybe the only solution 
is to jump right into the pollution
and to stay away from the center
and to be as loud 
as the rest of the crowd.
