*Step One: Unname Yourself**
Whisper your name into a jar of wind.
Seal it tight. Bury it
beneath the roots of a nameless tree.
Let the ants forget you.
---
**Step Two: Leave No Echo**
Speak only to the rain,
and only when it’s loud.
Let your words slip
between thunder and forgetting.
---
**Step Three: Unwrite Your Steps**
Walk backwards through your memories.
Where you once stood,
scatter feathers.
Where you wept,
plant silence.
---
**Step Four: Abandon Shadows**
Do not move when the moon calls.
Burn every mirror.
Stand so still
the dusk passes through you
without flinching.
---
**Step Five: Learn the Language of Fog**
Say yes in mist.
Say no in frost.
Let your breath be the last thing
to remember you.
---
**Step Six: Become Something Else**
A rustle.
A chill.
A flicker in the corner of an eye.
You are not gone.
You are just not *here*.
---
**Final Step: Do Not Return**
Even if they call.
Even if they say
they miss you,
mean it.
Some vanishings are sacred.
Some goodbyes are spells.

MY NAME IS ZIA UDDIN I LiVE IN KSA
If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
