Attention

Their concern has grown to suit me
And at one time I’d have thought to fight
I have grown acquainted with this flavor
And they won’t take their time to force me out

They take care of tending to my needs
Attention that I’d never last without
And to the touch I’m early to turn cold
This must be my sense of self-doubt

I’m begging them for more than to accept
Wanting proof is just like me
And I admire every lie in my design
It lasted me this far…so far


I wrote this about a year ago, it was when I went through a time in life when I trusted nobody and my mindset was “Hurt them before they hurt you”. Life is confusing.
