How to disappear

So you want to disappear; if only a moment or for a year.

What you need to do is cut your hair; make it short - if you so dare.

I need you to run as fast as you can, if you are a girl, then act like a man.

If you are a man, act like a child.

If you are rigid, then you must act wild.

If you spiral around, go into yourself.

If you are dependent on others, you must not ask for help.

Stay true to yourself, but do what you can.

To dust away the trail and live off the land.

Always in your heart will be the pain, a whisper of yourself that you took in vain.

But you must remember why you can’t be yourself.

You can put it in a book and place it on a shelf.

You can be free from who you are and who you want to be.

But forever those eyes are yours, who you will see.

But alas, you’ll be gone, deeper into this earth.

And what is forgotten will be transformed into birth.

And you will be free from what you have seen.

This is how to disappear from who you have been.
