Poetry: Starving for attention

by Carla Visocchi

Created on: April 09, 2009

Disgusted,

Her natural reflection is too plain,

She complains,

With the uncanny desire

To be known for something

She is not.

She is not

A model,

An actress,

Rather a young girl

Craving attention to cure her

Low self esteem.

Ridiculous as she may appear to others,

She gets self satisfaction

From the hairspray,

The makeup,

And the gaudy accessories she uses

Just to stand out.

She is rabid for attention,

She wants to be known,

Not for who she is,

But what she is.
