Attention

♡ POEMAHONTAS ♡ POEMADONNA ♡

I have a voice
That needs to be heard
My only choice
Is to speak through words
Can I get your attention
By saying something mean
You've ignored my cries
You've heard my screams
People say, a closed mouth
Will never get fed
When I opened my mouth
You heard nothing I said
Positive or negative
Your opinion I seek
It's hard to pay attention
Maybe its ADHD
