Alcoholic For Attention Poem by Maximus D. Redwood

Attention.
Attention, I want all of it.
I know it's wrong, but I'd do anything for it.
If you give me it, my mind melts,
I don't care who you are, what you are, what you do,
I just crave your attention like it's an alcoholic drink because I know.
I know I get drunk off of it.
It's not healthy.
I know it's not but just like any alcoholic, they tell themselves,
'Just one more and I'm done.'
Just some more,
Give me some more,
More,
More!
And my cravings get worse,
And I do worse things for the attention.
It's not enough anymore.
Please pay attention to me and only me!
I want you to hold me close.
I'll devote myself to you, I'll give myself away to you so you'd just see me,
Listen to me,
Hear me!

But just like any alcoholic drink, the aftermath hurts.
You'll run away.
You know how unstable I am.
My reputation is ruined,
I've done too much.
My head is killing me, I'm craving for more
And I can't get more.
Your attention is gone.
You're gone
And I am here, alone.
Attention.
Attention is all I wanted,
And I went too far to get it.
I know it's not healthy,
I'm trying to fix myself but giving up is so tempting.
Just one more,
Just one more drink won't hurt.
