The Vanishing button

How easy would it be, she thought? A device where you just press a button and vanish. 
No sweat. 
No blood. 
No tears. 
Just vanish, she thought! 

Her mere existence to all, such an inconvenience after all! 


If only it were easy to end life and move on to the next, and the next, and the next.

Guaranteed "no toxicity".     
Guaranteed "loads of peace". 
Guaranteed "forever sleep". 
Guaranteed "forever happiness". 
Just open the gates, press the button and "pooooof"! 

If it were her choice, she would have made this device long ago! 

All she wanted was to vanish somewhere - where her traces wouldn't be traced, where she could be herself, where she did not have to be someone else. where she could just swim in a limitless ocean and not look back, where she would find a soulmate who would have her for what she is. 

Flowing unbound tears down the cheeks, 
Drenched by a flooded river,
She sank inside forever!
