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!
