Attention-Whore for a Mother

By melodies revisited

Hate me
Love me
But please...

Just look at me
Look at what I have done

If you like it,
Then fine.

If you despise it,
Then go ahead.

I do it not to please
But get a reaction
From your stone face

You can kick me
While I am down

Or you can raise me up
With kind words

But please, just....


Mommy, LOOK at me....

Author's Note:

I have felt this way for a long time about my mother, until she died and I realised that I am not in need of her attention or love.
