MEGAPHONE BABY.

Madam Highlighter,

we see you!

you surely feel things

so deeply,

crying out the ocean

you fish for compliments in.

a lot on your plate,

yet you're starved for attention.

a dopamine fiend ;

a fan of the chase.

i wonder if you

paint your pictures

nestled comfortably

on your fainting sofa.

fan yourself,

babe.

clutch your pearls

with paper fan.

you'll be just fine.

Yep! I think I know her! 😀
Turns every story into an "I" story, that she is reminded of, no matter what was being talked about.
I can even picture her walking in measured steps to pick the almost perfect moment to fall onto her fainting sofa.... almost, as she crashes the ground while claretpoursforth from a rather nasty head wound.
So desperate for attention she discounted by a single step! Doh!
Well, we can hope! 😀

A few particular people came to mind when writing this one, but only one inspired it. It felt proper to feature this for awhile. Haha! Im glad you were able to get a kick out of this.

This poem was very heavily inspired by this woman on my facebook who does nothing but comes online seeking attention from everything and everyone. It was so frustrating at first, but now its comical.

Love the fish metaphor. She probably does paint her pictures, but her sofa is fainting and she may be clutching her last petals of fanning away addiction.
The last line can go both ways...encouragement that is real, or encouragement that is just window dressing from a speaker who knows the reality is she will not get better.
