I remember the night I stopped resisting the dark—the moment I let the shadows fold me in like a cloak, heavier than grief and colder than loneliness. It wasn’t surrender. It was survival. When the world’s light scorches too bright for a soul already cracked, sometimes disappearing feels like the only refuge left.
To be unseen is not mercy. It is exile without borders, a slow erasure traced in invisible ink.
You become a ghost in your own life—there but forgotten, present but hollow, a whisper no one listens for. The ache isn’t in being alone, but in knowing you’re erased, erased with such precision that even memory begins to doubt you existed.
Invisibility is not absence; it is a wound disguised as silence.
There’s a brutal kind of violence in invisibility. It is not peace. It’s a wound kept open to the cold silence, a place where no one cares to search. Being unseen means you live on the edge of absence, your name forgotten like a language no one speaks anymore. And yet, from this void, a fierce shadow stirs—a defiance born not from hope but from raw necessity.
The art of being unseen is a forge—where absence becomes armor, and silence a weapon.
It’s learning how to live with the weight of nothingness pressing down and finding in that weight a brutal kind of freedom. The freedom to exist without demand, without expectation, without the torment of being visible when visibility means pain.
Sometimes, the only freedom left is to disappear entirely—to be swallowed whole by night, until even the memory of your name is a ghost’s echo. To be unseen is to become both shadow and silence, to hold your breath until the world forgets you were ever here.
And yet, even in that absence, I remember—because the deepest silence always hums with the echo of who we once were, and who we might have been if we hadn’t chosen the dark as our home.
