I WISH TO DISAPPEAR

I wish to disappear,
erase each and every distance.
There are signs of promise
in the offing, and a spell
of good fortune may be near.

Future, though, is unclear.
This body is my tight leash,
my soul is about to explode:
This is why I wish,
I wish to disappear.

Please make me disappear!
Let me be all the answers
you wish to hear as you stand
at the crossroads of your life
not knowing where to steer.
