Goodbye (For Now)

Perspective

Disappear

Recollecting all of my summer days 
So I can set them ablaze 
No one needs to hear about them anyway 

Surfaced strain, my pain, it’s an ongoing thing 
I know you’ll understand but I can’t 
Let you in, or risk myself imploding 

Drawing out a year with an unblemished tear 
Do I lose or forget, am I marionette 
When my mental state is eroding 

Calling over again 
With no real intent 
But to calm down 
Am I calm now? 

I am trying hard today 
I am staying here today 
No hurt to appropriate 
Keeping all of myself safe 

“We’re so glad you’re making progress 
We know it’s tough to not feel misread 
Summer’s done so don’t feel hated 
We care for you and that’s what matters 
We know you’re strong to make it through this 
Just do your best, you are a good person 
Make mistakes, so long as you stay safe”

Tea Leaf.
