attention whore

sometimes i just need a little bit of love
a little bit of affection
a small smile?

laugh with me
or tell me i'm interesting
remind me i'm worthwhile
because sometimes i forget

i get swept along by the tide
and i forget i can't swim.
am i making sense?

i'm asking for attention.
just a little bit
because i'm scared i'll become one with the waves,
i'm scared i'll be forgotten.
