The Attention Seeker

The Attention Seeker—Edited Edition

Edited by: Roxana Puia

———————————————————————————————————————

I am an attention seeker.

I have three names.

My names are like second identities.

When I am nice and tactful, I am Laureen

When I am straightforward and confident, I am Semra

Hill never really shows up,

I don’t know much about her—so maybe,

When I am shy,

I am her

I often struggle with my myself

since I carry different personalities.

I‘ve come a long way

before learning to accept

who I really am.

I sought recognition

in each version of myself,

hoping someone would find out

that I am different

from the me

of two minutes ago.

Today,

I realised that I,

myself,

didn’t know this fact,

so it’s funny

to look back and see

how much struggle I endured

before embracing my true nature.

They are different,

but they are mine,

and I am them.

I no longer want to make any difference between us.

We are happy together

waiting for the next chapters of our life.

With love,

Us

The Attention Seeker — Original Version

I am an attention seeker.

I often struggle with my myself since I carry different personalities. I‘ve come a long way before learning to accept who I really am.

I sought recognition in each version of myself, hoping someone would find out that I am different from me of two minutes ago.

Until today, I realised that I, myself, didn’t know this fact, so it’s funny - to look back and see how much struggle I endured myselft before embracing my true nature.

I am proud seeing them playing me so well that nobody could tell the difference. They are here, and happy to be together for the next chapters.

With love,

Laureen
