Zywa Attention [2]

Receiving attention
As a child, feeling
That you are noticed

Having to take notice of that
And along with that
Taking notice of

How everything works
Between people
And the rest of the world

Otherwise, your brain will declare
The State of Boredom
Because you outgrow toys

And school isn't everything
You need attention
That helps you

Know who
And dare to become who
You want to be
