Attention

What I need is not bullying words,
I am a human who believes in witty and sensitive words.
I don't need wild desires
But I need the attention which motivates me to fulfil my simple desires.

Here, I sleep in the arms of the woman
Whom I admire and who treated me as a human.
Her eyes always wander when I am not near her
As she is my life and a woman of patience who makes me feel safer and stronger.

She is my mother, my bearer,
Who provides me the attention which makes her my healer.
She is my lover and I am hers.
She is the one who actually cares.

I don't need wild desires
But I need the attention which motivates me to fulfil my simple desires.
She is brushing my hair with her soft lovely hands
And I lie in her warm lap gazing at her wheatish skin and wrinkled cheeks.

She questions me with her raised eyebrows
And out of my love I don't answer but hug her like those small kids
Who fear to go to the school
And then she says," don't worry. I am here. Just be cool."

I don't need wild desires
But I need the attention which motivates me to fulfil simple desires.
She is my mother, my bearer,
Who just treats me like a small child by acting like my teacher.

She is the one who cares to listen to me
When the world is against me.
She is my mother, my bearer,
Who loves me like a small school kid who is innocent and softer.
