to be left in splendid isolation

we want

to be noticed. to be liked,

to be

admired

and accepted.

we want to be different,

unique,

to be remembered

after we die.

we want a legacy

of some sort

when we leave a room,

a school,

a job.

we want to be cried

for

when we die.

but not all of us feel

that way,

some of us just want to disappear

and hide.

live out

our lives in splendid

isolation.
