It’s become clear
that I cared too much
& you under-appreciated me
Furthermore, your life seems
unaffected with or without me
I’m ready now
My presence isn’t of value or priority
this poem…
you’ll probably never read
and if you did, it wouldn’t hurt
the way I do writing this
because it’s another clarity
to admit if my absence doesn’t disturb you,
then it’s my time to leave
