Given Attention

(once untitled) 
Given Attention

-14 May 2007-

I suffocate
Under the gaze of so many
I falter
When I hear my name
I sweat
When the attention is on me.
As much as I dream for it
I ache for it even less
My mind is in turmoil
And the dreams always come
Yet sleep becomes uneasy
When the time comes
The words are out there
I can feel them
Taste them
Smell them
Hear them
Swirling around me
In a miasma of meaning
That I can never do justice.
