Pay attention to me

Pay attention to me.

When I post a nice picture of myself

I wish you would say something

But instead I feel so overlooked

As if I am not important anymore.

Have you lost sight of me?

Remember the first days when

would compliment me

But now it is as if I don’t even

exist

Pay attention to me

Is all that I ask from you

To take a second to tell me

that you are proud of me.

Take a moment to admire my beauty

I see the good in you and I point it out

Why can’t you look at me and do the same?

Pay attention to me.

The small things really matter to me

That is what you fail to understand

As the days get longer my patient

wears thin.

Pay attention to me

I am tired of having to argue with you

just to remind you that I am still here

I feel disconnected from you now

I am not sure what we are still holding

onto

I am tired of asking you to

Please pay attention to me.
