attention seeker

In the spotlight's glare, shadows fade, Echoes of yearning in a masquerade. Seeking eyes that never truly see, Yearning for notice, yet never free. A dance of words, a staged display, Attention sought in the light's array. Behind the mask, a silent plea, Lost in the quest for identity. Vying for glances, in a crowded room, Hunger for connection, a silent bloom. Yet, in the gaze, a subtle decay, For attention craved can slip away. In the quest for validation's grace, Lost is the self, in the tumultuous chase. A poignant yearning, a soul's review, Seeking acknowledgment, yet feeling askew.
