He yearned for the limelight all his life
until he got it and his life darkened.
He never imagined his life would become
like living in a goldfish bowl with so
many people hounding and pestering him.
He never expected to be misquoted and
portrayed as a villain or an unfeeling fool.
After enough of the everpresent exposure
and the never ending invasions of his privacy,
he said screw it all and dropped out of the limelight
and basked in the freedoms of obscurity.

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. :-)
