How To Never Be Found

How to go away.

How To Never Be Found

First you must run away,

To a place you cannot say.

Or you will be taken home,

Where you will be all alone.

_____________________

Then you must pack,

Everything you own in a sack.

Don’t bother to take everything,

Pretend not to hear the phone ring.

_____________________

Don’t take your phone with you,

Or they’ll be able to track you too.

Never bring your cards only cash,

Throw everything else in the trash.

_____________________

Change everything that you wear,

You don’t have a moment to spare.

Throw your phone into the dumpster,

Don’t waste a moment longer.

_____________________

Lie low for a week,

Act like it’s hide and seek.

Except you’ll never be found,

So long as you stay underground.

_____________________

You now have nothing to fear,

Now that you learned to disappear.

    The rhyming really adds value to this Raphael. It feels like you're explaining a horrible survival concept to a child. Which reminds the reader we are all children in a way, and that we all want to run away and hide. Excellent work!

    The rhyme makes it feel deceptively simple. Great work!
