The Hunger for Attention

Some people seem addicted to attention.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing; it’s just
how they are wired.

I’m wired differently. I don’t like a lot of
attention.

I’d be uneasy were I known all over the
Internet like some people have become

often through hard work and successful
self promotion, not easy to do.

Worse, some through scandalous behavior
or posting something that backfired and

got them Internet breaking attention
that mortified them.

I’m happier with being obscure and
unknown in my soul-satisfying seclusion.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
