Sometimes, 
I just wanna leave
everything and everyone
Just to see who'll find me
In the crowd of thousands
Will ever someone actually
be bothered about my absence
I wanna sit back and watch

What a short, but beautiful poem about love.

I've never ever gotten this many responses to something I've posted. 
Therefore.....yes, you'll be missed. Absolutely
Jimmy Silker and I want to go to our own funerals together.

This is so relatable we all feel like this at times ,

I really like this poem.  It is short and to the point, is not maudlin or self-obsessing, speaks to something strong in the human condition. And there an E E Cummings look to the way lines get longer and longer until crashing into the last, surpring line. 
  I also wanna sit back and watch. The unexamined life is not worth living.

I have felt this way. Only my daughters care. It is eye opening.

who knows what the future holds.  All we can do is love and care for others, be kind and humble and selfless and thank God above for another day.   A nicely posed question that makes the reader think.  Bravo!

Nice little creation... Here's a positive note:

And in the silence of my leaving,
I&#8217;ll find those who see my light still gleaming,
For in the crowd, true hearts will always seek.

Invisible 

     Alone again in a crowded room, 
Am I dead or just dead to you 
Do I still have a breath of life 
Or have I gone cold and blue 

So close and yet so far away 
We were reaching for it all 
Climbing to the top but now it&#8217;s 
Clear that I have taken a fall 

I speak my words but it&#8217;s like 
They&#8217;re just sounds of silence 
I can&#8217;t understand why you&#8217;re 
So steadfast in your defiance 

You&#8217;ve got no room for compromise 
But love can&#8217;t be bought or sold 
I tried to give you everything but 
You left standing alone in a world so cold 

When our love was new you had 
A way of making me feel invincible 
But now everything has changed so 
Drastically and  I feel I&#8217;m Invisible

It&#8217;s funny at one time I wished I could be invisible and I thought how cool would that be but I&#8217;ve realized I am invisible and it&#8217;s lonely.

Thoreau wrote something like this several times in his journal.  He was very introverted and sometimes craved a connection with a friend. He often felt very alone. In fact, in Walden he prided himself on being self-reliant, but actually he was a very lonely person.

Yes everyone, thing aspect wants to be acknowledged, respected and loved.

In order for someone to be bothered by your absence you have to project an aesthetically pleasing image of camaraderie's fatidic.  If it's intrinsic you will be unforgettable.  Then again you could become involved in a masochistic relationship....... I mean can we save each other from the truisms of self we all embody, perhaps not, but at least we can aspire to such heights.  I mean I like to think there's some imbue in the exude in my emote.

Ah! The eternal question,everyone wants to go to their own funeral.
