I don’t fade away easily;
the only way to make me
disappear is to say the word.
Then poof, like a puff of smoke
I will exit your life
to stage left.
But you have to
say the magic words,
that’s the only way it will work.
I do not vanish into thin air
unless told to
by the one who controls me.
You are the master magician
that has the power
to tell me what to do.
I’m too weak to resist you,
but I’m strong enough
to stand your indifference.
