The COVETED VANISHING ACT

Sigh.

Where do you go to hide?
They say you can run, but you can never hide.
Whew! What a dreadful situation!
Would it be easier to just take the blows?
Much like taking charge and owning up to it.
It would be quite a challenge to establish a sense of peace and freedom, no matter how temporary.

You can run, but you can never hide.
Where is the comfort in that?

Am I just so naive?
Either that, or I am immune beyond repair.
I hear about it. I see it. I guess, I know about it.
And it makes me guilty of betrayal every time I utter something about it.
Much like adding insult to perceived injury.

I do not consider myself defenseless though.
For one, I am not directly involved in the hulabaloo that is the mysterious vanishing act.
It is something so complicated that I would be more comfortable knowing Squidward is capable of suicide.

It is actually not my business.
But maybe time has come that it has gone out of control.
Whether the current situation is liked or not, there is no more turning back.
Now is the time when the only way forward is to let it out, vie for justice and forgiveness.
Then move on without anything from the dark past.
Because dodging ill thoughts is not even an option.

All the same, involved or not, it feels like I am drawn, weighed down, burdened.
Gone are those days when I could easily shrug thoughts of it off my mind.
I tried so hard to reinvent the wheel of stories but to no avail.
It  has gone too obvious to be ignored.

Incorrigible. Irredeemable. Incomprehensible. 

Why, oh why?

I have been warned.
Am I just adamant to face the shock this culture is exposing me to?
Am I too childish to opt to remain oblivious just so I ain't be bothered by vicarious liability?
Am I so self-righteous to accept the ugly truth that beings with innate goodness and in the right mind are capable of screwing things up?
Am I so wrapped in my own happy bubble that I am not able to at least get a good grasp of the overwhelming indicators that shout out "this is for real, it is happening!"?

Help me.
I am confused as ever.
ACT? or just VANISH?
