So Obvious You Seek Attention

no one listens to me when I talk so I write poems and sing songs I "want attention" when I talk hear it, read it, I'm long gone never around people that talk busy avoiding their attention when not present people talk absent yet centre of attention I sense annoyance as they talk definitely some tension could it be they talk of me when I am not present become more and more annoyed I am centre of attention then around me sit disgruntled envious and silent until I leave and it's me they choose to mention they think I'm stealing their limelight and receiving praise, and that I'm not entitled as it should go their way but I'm not hearing anything, just another day, out for the attention from my Facebook Tribute page I shouldn't be doing it, they should be, okay, my idea and without me wouldn't exist anyway, still I hand over control and I get out the way, anger turns to silence, "what do I do?" they say. They wanted to run the page but don't know what to do, only thinking about attention that shouldn't go to you, angry, envious, nasty and rude granted their wish sitting completely confused *TRUE STORY
