Vanishing Act

by Peter Williams   Apr 21, 2005


What if I just vanished?
To disappear into oblivion.
Would anyone notice?
Would anyone care?
Should I?
Do I dare?
Am I making anyone's life better?
Am I making everyone's life worse?
I just want to vanish.
To be erased from existence.
I don't want to die,
I don't want to live.
I just want to vanish.
Everyone ignores me......
They don't care.
I just want to vanish.
To disappear entirely.
Become nothing but a whisper,
Become nothing but a shadow,
Become nothing but a ghost......
I can see you, but you can't see me.
I just want to vanish.
Like the bunny in the hat.
I just want to vanish.
So I won't bother you,
So I won't bother him,
So I won't bother this,
So I won't bother that.
I just want to disappear,
And become a magician's vanishing act.
I just want to vanish.
