Right Before Their Eyes

Become a Master of Subterfuge…

I could teach you but I have to charge.

The first step is to become opaque

It’s a simple, like a slice of chocolate cake

Be an observer more than a participant

Quiet is how your cover is kept

Take mental notes and wear a smile

Slowly retreating backwards all the while.

Reduce your expectations to a complete zero

Then watch how life will no longer contradict you.

Minimize the passionate opinions you once worked to defend

Let them talk and “be right”... it’s a simple game of pretend.

The less opinion you have the less arguments ensue.

Adopt the “you like it, I love it” kind of attitude.

Before long, voila-- they’ll stop involving you.

Pride and ego will forget you’re in the room.

The chaotic swirls of their dance magically bypass you.

Take the path less traveled and go stand in the light.

To demonic spirits and energy vampires, you’re out of sight.

Literally and figuratively, they can’t get your location.

Now, you can serve them a dose of stronger medication.

Being unbothered grants you a certain type of opaqueness.

They can’t place you at the scene…

Everyone there has a hard time remembering.

Someone thinks they saw your face or was it lucid dreaming?

Now, you control time. Now you control your mind.

You’ve mastered the art of invisibility by way of withdrawal.

Say goodbye to your days of being baited into brawl.

You can now opt-out and allow your frequency to rise.

Advancement to the next ascension level is the grand prize.

Rising above the hate, doubt, fear and complaints.

Free from the low lifes and nestled with the saints.

Some may even ask, “Are you one of them haints?”

Out of sight, out of mind.

The future is bright when you can face forward

…and disappear backwards like the dial for rewind.
