Let go of your presence- on your terms.

1. Start in the evening.
Light from your window must bend–
Enough to mar the edges
Of your soul.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
2. Unname yourself.
Store the Alphabets in a box.
Leave it by the window.
Let the birds peck its sides–
Like forgotten worms.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
3. Wear silence like a hat.
Worn. Veils the head and face.
Your speech in glances–
Or muted.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
4. Walk with your memories.
Pick one that mattered.
Embrace it.
It mutes sour souls.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
5. Let your shadow fly.
Let the breeze give it wings.
Let it forget where you are.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
6. Find a place for nameless souls.
A place for small voices.
For the hush of a butterfly’s wing.
The silence before the never “yes”–
To my sound.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
7. Forget the sound of your heartbeat.
Make your body still,
Soundless.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
8. Don’t answer when they call.
Let your absence fill the space
Left in the room
A vastness
None can fill.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
9. Love Stillness.
Not stillness of time.
But the stillness of life.
The kind the heart knows–
That doesn’t ask or wait.
🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
10. Don’t look back.
The world will name more souls.
Not yours.
That’s the way it is.
