🌫️ “Disappear, Gently” 🌫️

A soft whisper for those who carry too much and ask for too little.

By Firdos JamalPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Sometimes, I wish I could disappear— Not forever, Just long enough To find my breath In a world that never stops moving. --- Not to break hearts, Or cause worry, Or spark whispers behind closed doors. But to step away From the weight Of being “fine.” --- I want to fold myself Into a quiet place— A rented room, A nameless town, A coffee mug warmed by silence And a window that watches rain fall Without asking why. --- No performance. No updates. No need to explain the ache Behind my eyes Or the heaviness that sleep won't fix. --- I don’t want to be lost. I want to be Unfound Just for a moment— Long enough to let go Of being dependable, Predictable, Strong. --- Let me wander, Not far— Just away from the noise That demands I always Answer. Always appear. Always smile. --- And when I return— Because I always do— I'll bring with me The softness I found In the quiet, The strength I didn't know I was allowed To rebuild. --- So if you don’t hear from me, It’s not the end. It’s a beginning I’m reclaiming In peace, Alone, And finally, Without apology.
