Recall

You are

Better

Alone

If they

See you

They’ll just

Hurt you

Try to

Use you

They are out to get you

Jump at every knock on the door

Shut off the lights and get on the floor

It’s all a trick

To make you stick

Your neck into the stocks

Made plans?

Drop them

You are

No one

Don’t speak

Don’t post

Don’t share

Go ghost

And if you feel

You want to try

To be seen again
