When I was alone
I was starving for attention
Craving for a company
When I was in a crowd
I was starving for attention
Lost lonely in the crowd
When I was in distress
I was starving for attention
Eagerly waiting for solace
When I achieved it
I was starving for attention
For recognition by everyone
When I lost every thing
I was starving for attention
For someone to console
When I felt stuck, going nowhere
I was starving for attention
To be told – “backing up to get a running start”
When I became famous
I was starving for attention
Of at least one, who knows me
When I experienced a great moment
I was starving for attention
To share it with all those I loved
When I understood the reality of life
No more was I starving for attention
He is with me, always paying attention
Holding me when in need
Kicking me for my greed
Walking with me always
In my heart he stays
When I was alone
He is the only one known
When I am in a crowd
He helps me to be proud
When I am in distress
He takes all my stress
When I achieved it
He does it, giving me credit
When I lost every thing
He helps new ideas to cling
When I feel stuck, going nowhere
He gives more strength to dare
When I became famous
He smiles, and acknowledges the cause
When I experience a great moment
He laughs, thinking we are innocent
