Walk right into a conversation and just interject
As if nothing being said was of any import
Assume people want to hear what I have to say
Never doubt for a moment I'm not of compelling interest
And should be noticed
Yep, in a nutshell, right to the proverbial T
There's a little voice inside screaming
"Look at me!"
Maybe, just maybe, just this once
There will be a moment of modesty
If I make the effort I know I can shine
But I need your attention for it to happen
All of you, look this way
And then start heaping on the praise
For all the wonderful, magical, truly inspirational
Some of you will probably not be able to relate
You may have some other means of elevating your own self worth
Not this kid, I need attention, I need affection
For my perception of myself to make sense
I need some good ol' fashioned appreciation
Though, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to accomplish something first....
