"I write them for myself", I say,
it is a well crafted lie,
I write them for you.
Comment, compliment,
Absurdity;
I crave the attention,
insult me if you wish,
it will be the same.
Like a 4 year old
throwing a tantrum,
I have accomplished my goal
if I snag your attention,
positive or negative,
I get the same charge.
Charge? Oh, no, I don't charge,
well-woven or loosely spun,
they're free,
You just have to read.

i really like that
goodluck in the contest! -
Lovely weave and web of words, so truthfully spoken:
"Like a 4 year old
throwing a tantrum,
I have accomplished my goal
if I snag your attention,
positive or negative,
I get the same charge."
Either way, people read and they comment(optionally) better that they do, hehehe
Well done!

Gotta love that ending! Charge? Oh, no I don't charge.
this is really cute. Sometimes true and I think many will relate.

Great take on the prompt, and I absolutely love your last line.

nicely penned for the prompt . . liked "I write them for you" and "I crave the attention" . . good luck in the contest

"positive or negative,
I get the same charge."
Nice double entendre!
No charge? I think everyone who writes gets a charge out of their work being read.
