Disappear into yourself

No one needs to know

Disappear into yourself

Be prepared to walk slowly away from the group

Ever so slowly away

From those who never cared about you

From those who you realize you’re better off without

Those who bring you down

Those who can never be proud of your accomplishments

Those who always find the negative twists in everything

Walk away

Stand up for yourself

But walk away at the same time

Become unavailable to them

Never let them know what you’re doing

They don’t deserve to be a part of your life anymore

Don’t drop anything for them

Let them suffer on their own

Put yourself first

Block them

Block their number

Block them on social media

Don’t let them know anything about you anymore

They don’t deserve it

Let them wonder

Let them wonder what you’ve been up to

Let them wonder how successful you are

Let them be jealous of you

They are unhappy with themselves

Allow yourself to become one with yourself

No one ever needs to know what you do

No one ever needs to know where you are in life

When you do all the things you've been working so hard to accomplish

And your name is out there in the spotlight

And of the people see how great they are

Still keep to yourself

Stay in the shadows

Like the invisible person

Like the behind-the-scenes person that people never see

Disappear like you’ve never met anyone in your life

Maybe that’s the only way to be truly happy

No drama

No negativity

No feeling alone in a group

You can go anywhere you want

You can do anything you want

No one needs to know

But it starts by standing up for yourself and walking away

Walking away from the toxic people

Walking away from the toxic situations

And walking into the personal peaceful abyss that you create for yourself
