Demanding as a child,
I wait for each reply,
Constantly looking for validation,
Dreaming of the day,
You’ll never go away,
Pushing you away with every action.
Resplendent as a new day,
Someone new with whom to share,
Effervesce as the interests begin to rise
Sharing causing tingles of excitement,
Overflowing from me,
A flood of attention and desire
Unfurling like a bud blossoming,
All my truths spill out
Exposing my core
Rotten with the desperate need to fit in
The flies gather at the feast
A gluttony of spoiled ego
Drifting as if a leaf from a tree
Settling to the detritus below
Another friendship left to decay
Adding to the soil
Smothering each glimmer of hope
While building up the tree to stand alone
Crushing like the Earth on Atlas’s back
My need for attention builds up
Smothering any interest
Self destructive inclinations reinforcing what I know
I’m a burden, I’m overwhelming, I’m too much
I shouldn’t inflict me upon anyone
