The All-Purpose Guide to Disappearing

The Joy of Missing

By Lori ArmstrongPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
When the Puppet Strings Break

My brain has melted, far away and removed,

Feeling beaten, yearning to be renewed.

I will find my future, while broken in two,

Learning a broken woman can be renewed.

A mountain escape with my child I will run,

You will discover, you will never see your son.

My pain is shared with him, as we make a home,

Away from your torture, never again to feel alone.

A hidden town with a secret P.O. will do,

For now we are hidden, away from your view.

Detached from social media, leaving no clues,

Our minds slowly regain the beauty of hues.

My writing is an escape, to conquer the pain

No longer will we suffer from your cruel disdain.
