I sought their attention.
But how could that be?
When all of my actions,
Had been conducted privately?
And I did my very best,
To ignore them…
Whenever I could,
To maintain my peace of mind!
Having received that through some rough times.
Why would they think…
I’d be wishing their acceptance?
If and when I do observe them…
They are disrespecting themselves.
And why would I want to be a part of that?
When my identity has been intact?
Unless they believe I am that desperate,
To want to be shown that kind of self neglect?
I hope my focus does not slight them!
