Wanting to be liked
In the words that I write.
From pain etched in the heart, my like is a start
of a journey I hope you will take
Needy deep in prose
The con is the thorn
Needling the rose
Pretending to place
Your prose with my praise
Hiding the stats response
I like you but I don’t
I just want to be noticed
And liked by your thumb
On the icon that makes me feel warm
