I just want your attention

Thats all I want sometimes

And sometimes it even drives me insane

Desperately doing whatever I possibly can to get you to look at me

And when you do look at me my heart drops and its like I dont want you to even know my name

Because you look at me with pity

And I look at you with envy

"I love you"

Three words.

Typed out in secrecy,

shouted out across a roiling mass of people.

"I love you"

sunshine flowing from your fingertips to your dear one with a single touch.

A smile like the cool mist of the dawn.

"I love you"

tossed out like flyers for a product or

guarded and kept like precious jewels for the one.

"I love you"

a choking whisper as terrible as quicksand,

sucking you down and numbing you

or a laughing call, causing lightning tendrils of happiness to

rush through your veins, making you blush

"I love you"

remembered and hated from the one who betrayed you

or cherished from those who have gone on before you

"I love you"

only words

"I love you"

with a kiss

with a note

with a wink

with a smile

"I love you"

with blood

with tears

with sickness

with death

I love you

more than you will ever know,

forever and always,

into eternity.

You are not the cause

Of a world of hate

You are not the sole target

Of a world of hate

Stop putting your race

Or your sex

Or your sexuality

Or your religion

As tags on your face

You do not get to represent

An entire group of people

Do not apologize

Or explain

Or get angry

On their behalf

Please try to refrain

Your race is part of your identity

But a race is not just you

And maybe say your name

Before you say your race

The boy who cried wolf,

he never heard the wolf cry

when the villagers would come

and the wolf waited to die.

Staring forlorn

up at the cold moon,

he howls each night

his lonely tune.

His song shivers

down your spine,

and around your heart

will entwine

his tears

they pin-prick

your heart will sear

at this feeling

so silently clear.

Hush your mind

tip-toe, tip-toe,

if you choose

to hear the wolf's

story of woe.

His howl makes

the sleeping trees dance

the moon will cry

and the wind come prance

We hear these things

as they whisper and move,

but no one ever hears

the cry of the wolf. ❋

I’d need to know more about your character’s disposition, when and where the story takes place so it fits the time/era and country/location, etc.

But if I ever have an issue coming up with a name I’d either benchmark or understudy awesome “bad boy” names such as Jax Teller from S.O.A, Riddick, Jesse Pinkman, Walter White, O-Dog, just to name a few of my bad boy fav’s and come up with one similar to my character’s disposition, or I use a name generator online:

If that doesn’t work out, I come up with a word or two of what I want the character to represent and look up the words in a different language and go with what sounds cool, since names can and should have profound meaning…
