Goodbye

there are times
we overlook the obvious
focused on the things
that drive some of us to insanity

but i feel blessed
to have realized
that we all have to leave
sooner or later

so this is me
finding my closure
because i know
it can be sooner rather than later

i'm sorry i didn't mean to
bring upon pain
nor did i intend to
ignore you

just like everyone
i got caught up in life
i'm on the way out
and i'm at peace

thank you for keeping me going
when i wanted to call quits
so this is my goodbye
to the people i love
