DNP(Do Not Post): Unnamed

by Poeticjustice

Is it bad to want? Because I hunger for attention. I just can’t show it I want the attention off someone, but my mind reminds me to be distant so that I don’t make a fool of myself/ But I end up spacing her away so much as to not only hide my wishes, but also turn her eyes to another. Do I feel a jealousy? No, to be honest, I don’t feel that. But what I do feel is a regret that I can’t be myself around such a free spirit. I feel as though even if I try, I can’t be the person I am around such a crowd of people. So I put on my facades. I’m not rushing for love, just its attention and closeness. I hunger for an appreciation that I can’t show I’m pining for. Thus is the only dilemma I truly have. I’m caught in a myth

I came across a basic vault of my poems last night lol So I'll probably be posting some more of these from the ones that I said I wouldn't post.
