My Recipe for Invisibility

People don’t mistakenly forget me

My overwhelming story and personality

Doesn't slip from their functioning mental faculties

They purposely misplace all recollection

Of the burning decimation left

In the wake of my controlled release and recapturing

⊹₊🔥⋆｡°✩⊹₊🔥⋆｡°✩⊹₊🔥⋆｡°✩

They nervously deny any involvement

In the terrorized flight across the country that

Posed as my childhood and adolescence

I don't know why you would

Want to replicate my results

But I can tell you how I do it

How I walk through life a

Disaster zone undetected

° ༘₊˚ ݁ ⊹ . ݁˖ 📋 ° ༘⋆₊˚ ݁ ⊹ . ݁

First, I answer every question put to me

Honesty is only a virtue in theory

The average citizen starts to

Squeam and squirm, breaking

Under the heat of truth's beating sun

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

Second, I accomplish every task presented

Nothing generates jealous hate

Like being the first to scrub your plate

It matters not if rewards are lost or gained

Don't look back, leave them working

Gritting their teeth

─── ⋆⋅🎖⋅⋆ ───

Next, I question everything

Red and yellow flags, even green

Over-understanding leads to ostracizing

Intelligence doesn't breed madness, showing it

Engenders whispers in the night

❓❓❓🚩🚩🚩❓❓❓

After a while, you will find

You've become invisible

Walking the world

Solving problems

Asking questions

No one seems to see or hear

One fortunate thing you'll find

About vanishing from humankind

There are plenty of us here

Banished for our insolent care

Welcome to the ranks of the disappeared
