Chasing attention,
I ache for the praise;
Chastise me for all I care,
The truth never ached for me.

Why do I dream of getting the medal,
When familiarity already won;
Say something nice for once,
Get dismissed a hundred times.

Some say I do good,
Some say It's too shallow;
Try to put yourself in my shoes;
Let's see if you run home sane.

Never ending philosophies,
Infinite judgments,
Running around in circles,
I guess the system has no breaks.

Fall from the podium,
Under the two minutes of your speech;
Close your mouth for once and listen!
Knowing everything is not knowing all things right!

Don't worry, you won't see me for long,
I'll excuse my pathetic self from your presence,
Besides, you'd like it better if I'm deteriorated, right?
**When the broken is still breaking.
I don't need the anesthesia
