Little

Attention I sought 
bravado I had 
a false cockiness 
a thin layer 
hiding the hurt
pompous and pomade 
things I thought 
just might attract 
but did not 
rather they distracted 
so goes window
dressing and pictures 
putting on airs
to sell and 
not to invite 
now I am 
what you see
and little else 
this little me
