It was so hard for me to write this poem because it's hard for me to admit to myself what I wrote in this poem so it's so much harder for me to admit to a bunch of strangers what I wrote in this poem. I ask for a favor to PLEASE not judge me by this poem.
It was so hard for me to post this. tell me what you think about it but please don't judge me by it.thanx!

Who really cares?
And who's really there?
The answer is noone;
I think I'm on my own.
The only thing i want,
The only thing I've ever wanted
Is for people to love me.
I need attention.
Any attention will do for me;
Good, bad;
It doesn't metter,
It's all the same.
The only way I know how to get attention
Is to give myself away.
I've let people take advantage before,
I guess I'll let people take advantage some more.
Until I get the attention I really need and deserve,
This is all the attention that I can get.
I go to school;
I'm happy,
I'm free.
But when I get home,
I cry and weep.
I dying inside,
But I don't let it show.
Everyone thinks I'm so happy,
But I'm the lonliest person.
Guys are my safety,
Because I know they always want to see me
As long as I'm acknowledged
I'm happy.
Keep telling your friends,
Keep passing me around.
Keep tellin me I'm hot,
Keep callin me up.
You've given me the most attention I've evr had,
But I still need more.
I can do better than you.
I can get attention from someone who really cares,
But for now I have to settle for you.
You're are what I'e needed,
But you're far from what I really need.

Hey,
I'm not going to judge YOU on your poem at all...but is it okay if I judge the poem? It's really good and it sort of describes how I feel sometimes so I really related to it.
Thanks!

Trust me honey.. I know the song. It's hard to forget those lyrics.

Eventually, you have to demand more from yourself. As you get out there in the world you have more options. The petty cliques of school and who's doing what... don't let that get the best of you. At least you're smart enough to know the difference between someone who just wants your skin and someone who really wants you.
