empty your pockets
empty your mind
cut the ties.
the ties that bind
the ties that blind
cut the lot
leave it all behind
leave no signs
nothing to be seen
leave no traces
of ever having been
harden your heart
recognise the dream
recklessly plunge
into a silent scream
embrace the darkness
its lack of light
cloaked in the umbra
the shadows of night
out of this depth
out of this world
out of both mind
and sight
burn reflections
from the mirrors
erase the traces
that make the past
forever has a use by date
make this moment last
change your face
cut your hair
alter your gait
adjust your stare
stand at the edge of tomorrow
and cast aside all care
step into this midnight
but only if you dare
slip into the cracks
get left behind
no one will notice
so no one will mind
shun the crowds
disengage from the line
amidst a mist of your choosing
witness the bending of time
once you let go
of all you hold dear
solutions are simple,
answers are clear
you have to let go
of all that you fear
and only then
will you truly disappear

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

This is my favourite so far for the challenge. Bravo! "cloaked in the umbra the shadows of night" and "stand at the edge of tomorrow and cast aside all care" I especially love!
Fun and it flowed so wonderfully!!!❤️❤️💕
This is sad! Do we disappear with death or reappear in reincarnation?
