Necessary

I have to leave

I have my reasons

Dear

They say I'm dumb and weak

But I think I'd be more so staying when I know it would destroy me

And not for the better, either.

I've felt destroyed before

But it made the triumph sweeter

But here is not fertile ground for triumph.

As misled as I may have been at the beginning,

At least I know that now.

And, God, am I aware now

There's no place for soft and sappy here

There's no place for someone like me

I think it'd be bad of me to stay

Unkind, in a way

Since self-destruction is still destruction

And I am necessary

Despite it all, I know I'm necessary

So I have to leave

I have my reasons

Dear
