Step 1: Tidy your house & leave it neat,
No need to cause a scene or make a tweet.
Step 2: Withdraw your cash, clear out your account,
You’ll need a stash, make sure it’s a decent amount.
The mission is simple: it’s time to disappear,
So keep your intentions sharp and clear.
Step 3: Find your new forever home,
Somewhere quiet, where you’re truly unknown.
Install some cameras, set your traps with care;
You’ll want to know they’re coming before they’re there
Step 4: Plot your route, know every lane,
Stick to the shadows, avoid the main.
Learn the backstreets, practice your pace,
One wrong turn could blow the case.
Step 5: Delete your data, your digital trace,
Erase every login, every face.
If you wait, it might be too late,
A single ping could seal your fate.
Step 6: Change your hair, but nothing too loud,
You don’t want to stand out in a crowd.
Alter the length, the colour, the style,
Make sure you don’t match the picture in your file.
Step 7: Say your goodbyes, quiet and clean,
To family, to friends, to what might’ve been.
To stay in the dark, you must sever the tie,
No looking back, no last goodbye
Because if you wish to remain hidden, contact is completely forbidden.
If you follow these steps with precision and glee,
You, my friend, will forever be free
So… are you prepared to do all of this?
Risking it all,
.
.
.
Will you actually be missed?
