I am just going to sit here
       in the quiet
              because I like it.
I do not mind
       alone sometimes,
              so long as it's alone
                     on my terms.
I do not want to be known
       and special
              to the world entire,
                     just to a few
                            who love me well.
So I will sit here
       in the quiet
              and watch the world
                     pass me thoughtless by
                            in search of glory
                                    because I like it.
