What's worse?

Is it worse to be hated or to be forgotten?
Is being burned really worse than to fade away?
Is it selfish to think otherwise?
Rumors turn into stories and stories to legends
A little piece of immortality
They'll be known to people who haven't met them
It's not hero versus villain
It's villain versus side character
We all know hatred in some way
Irrelevance is way scarier
Power comes with being feared
No such power comes to the people who disappear
Guilt lasts just as long as regret
Neither matters when you're dead
