give me more stories
more portrayals, renditions
more delineations
of the people who leave.
the ones who walk away for whatever reason
and are doomed to never hear the end of it.
who are more than justified on their own behalf
but biding farewell is seen as a crime.
all we see are quotes on top of quotes
about the heartlessness and lack of soul of the goodbyers
comparing them to cheats and liars,
but is it true?
are we as people incapable of a change
that will spark a migration in our minds and then our bodies
to get up and go?
we leave when love fails and seasons change
when we grow and others age
but criticization comes hand in hand with being free.
because to them it is so that abandonment for someone's own inner peace
is the equivalent to cruelty.
but if you want to leave, leave.
if you don't love them anymore then go.
if you aren't happy with them anymore then go.
if you aren't being treated right then just go.
and don't believe for a moment that it is your fault
that things come then bid adieu in the sequence of a spell
because it is but our human nature to move onto other pastures,
where things are just a little brighter.
and it is the other's job to wish them good luck on their journey.

i feel like the meaning of this one could get misconstrued so BASICALLY this is just criticizing the fact that so many people like to demonize people who leave others like either by breaking up, or cutting out a toxic person, whatever. what everyone fails to talk about is the justification the people who leave in those situations usually have. i think it's normal and healthy to move on, obviously not for no reason, but if you're unhappy or the person is being shitty, we shouldn't just automatically label someone as a bad person for moving on with their life and putting their well-being first, even if it kinda hurts the other person
