Please Please

“Right now, right now,” 
people clamour
“Look at me, pay attention to me,” 
they cry

“To live is to suffer” 
they say
“To be attached is to suffer” 
they declare. 

“Please, please,” 
I say.
“Help me, I’m drowning,” 
I scream.
“I have to feel loved.” 
“I have to desire.” 
“I have to be human,” 
I shout as they all try to drown me out.
