Attention Seeker

Scroll soul, thumb numb, doom room, phone glow in my iris

Heart in the drafts, can’t send, long caption in a crisis, private pilot in a spiralin’ cockpit, air minus

Face for the feed, hollow in the head, can’t hide this

All black outfit, thoughts dressed the same, no stylist, no silence

Attention seeker, bleed for a feature, post my pain, let it linger, linger

Crying in the comments, fiend for a finger on the screen, lil tap, lil stinger, stinger

Tell me I’m enough or a demon, either way it’s a hit, I’m a pinger

Attention seeker

Short fuse, long story, small heart, big speaker

Therapist in my notes app, ghost cap, unsent storm in a sentence, resentment in ascent

Mom call, I decline; text “busy,” but I’m really staring holes through the ceiling vent

Friends in a circle, I’m there in the pic, but my spirit went

Eyes red, not from smoke, from the scroll, from the scroll, from the scroll that never bent

If I vanish for a week, would the world even tweak, would they save me in a story?

Or do I gotta bleed in HD, 4K misery, to get a lil glory?

Attention seeker, bleed for a feature, post my pain, let it linger, linger

Crying in the comments, fiend for a finger on the screen, lil tap, lil stinger, stinger

Tell me I’m enough or a demon, either way it’s a hit, I’m a pinger

Attention seeker

Short fuse, long story, small heart, big speaker

Hit delete, hit repeat, same pose, same pose, different weekend

Say “I’m good,” but the good got a leak, sanity seeping off the deep end

Pray for a hater
