Your Attention

Posted by Terrence Johnson

I speak, you never listen
I ask for time, you make excuses
I want direction, you give me exceptions
What do I have to do to get your attention
A few minutes of your time
I am a young mind that needs molding
Not a toy that can be put down at will
When I do right, I'm ignored
When I do wrong, I'm chastised
Whatever I have to do to get your attention
I will
Whether it is good for me or not
If you deny my attention
I will find someone else to take your place
Then whatever happens will be your fault
How could you neglect your child
From the one thing I need
Your attention
