I need to call first to know you're ok
Fish out some words of sympathy
As a crowd erupts on my head
Why?
I need to approach you
To realise I'm worth it
And get a chance
Or a glimpse of some attention
Why?
I need to fake a fatal illness
Disguise myself in glitter
And wear a smile then collapse in laughter
Only to realise that the tears were of sadness instead
Why?
I need to be laying on my death bed
With a will and a pen stuck to my hand
Giving my last halves
Like I even had those
Just to get your concern
Why?
Why do I have to go through so much just to get your attention.
Even a sideways glance would do.
By now I've seen my own desperation
Just to know whether you are ok too
Not for you alone
But for me too.
