When it’s time to go, simply leave no trace of you behind.
When it is time to go, pull all your belongings from their drawers. Fold them and place them in a bag to dispose of later.
When it is time to go, promptly delete all photos of you. From birth to adult hood. Scrub the internet clean of you. Pulling every photo of you from the frames and replacing them with someone unfamiliar.
When it is time to go, you will cancel your bank account and credit cards, as if you were never a valued customer of theirs. Giving away all the earnings in your account, donating it anonymously to a foundation or shelter in need. Be careful for no one should see you. Have a courier service pick the money up in a designated location.
When it is time to go, put on cleaning gloves and scrub the entire house with bleach. Every surface, every crack, nook and cranny. Make sure your hair is in a bun with a hairnet over placed over it, so no straggly hairs fall onto the pristine cleaned floor.
When it is time to go, burn your drivers license, your passport, your birth certificate and your socail security card. Then scrap up the burn debris and toss it into a bag, then dumping it into the nearby river. Letting the water wash away the moment you came into this world, and given a number and a name. Just become another mindless human being whos life had no meaning to the world it came into.
When it is time to go, reset your phone to factory settings. Deleting all its history and you from it. Once you have done so, leave it on a bench somewhere. Someone will eventually find it and use it.
When it is time to go, find a person in need of a car and give it away no questions asked.
When it is time to go, donate all your clothes to a donation box.
When it is time to go, take in the life you have lived. Say goodbye to it, feeling its past, present and future self-disappear from memory as you start to Fade into the distant void.
Now that it is time to go, head for the door and walk. Continue to walk until your past is immensely far behind you, that you yourself don’t recognize who you are anymore. Now that you have gone, you have no name, no fingerprints, no DNA, no trace of you anywhere. You simply never existed, soon your face fading from the mind of others as time and silence takes their toll, forcing them to question did you exist or were you just a blip of a memory passing in time? A friendly foe? Or a stranger who once reminded them of someone they thought they knew?

A Beautiful Mind
A Beautfiul Mind I rose with the morning sun. Lately I have been unable to stay asleep, tossing and turning throughout the night, no position seems comfortable, eventually forcing myself to get up knowing I will never get the adequate sleep I long for. Today, will be another caffeine filled day to help push me through it. I throw on my robe, pull my bedridden hair into a messy bun and walk towards the kitchen. The natural sunlight peering through the window above the sink is more than enough light to allow my brain and body to adjust. The smell of dark Italian toast blend lingers through the air as I pour myself a nice cup of coffee. The newspaper on the table is from over a month ago. I pull it towards me, reading the funnies as if I hadn’t done that over a hundred times already. They never get old to me. Finishing my coffee, I place it in the sink and head over to our bedroom, the room is quiet, not wanting to wake my husband, I tiptoe to the bathroom and turn the shower on. The hot water feels good, refreshing as my brain activates and becomes alive once again. Standing there I allow the water to wash over my head, drowning out all the sounds around me. I close my eyes and let my body succumb to the sensational feeling of contempt and safety. Like a warm hug wrapping itself around me. After several minutes, I finish washing up and turn the shower off. I get dressed quietly in my closet and make my way down the hall to our daughter’s room. I pull open her drapes ever so slightly. I don’t want to startle her. Walking over to the edge of the bed I sit and rub her back, “good morning sunshine. Time to wake for the day,” I say to her. Her little eye lids peering slightly open, she lets out a big yawn and a stretch, “mommy, I just want to lay here all day. How come we can’t do that?” She asks. Tickling her little chin, “because sweetheart you have school today, and sometimes even though we want to stay in bed all day. We still need to do them, even disappointing things like go to school or mommy and daddy having to go to work trust me if I could, I would lay in bed all day too. Especially here cuddling and tickling you until your tummy aches from laughing so hard,” I said as I leaned in and tickled her whole body. Giggling she rolls out of bed, “okay, okay, I will get up,” she says, moving sloth like to her bathroom. “Brush your hair and brush your teeth! For two minutes little miss!” I sternly.

A Heart Worth Saving
Dawn had always suspected her heart was dangerous. Not metaphorically, though she’d had her share of heartbreak, but literally. Every man she had ever loved had died. Not dramatically, not heroically, not even interestingly. They died like losers, which, if she was honest, they had been.
