'Necessary' by Ravyn LaRue

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
