Problem is, it's real

You know how throughout university they teach us stuff, and we memorize it word by word, symptom by symptom, sign by sign.

You know how we were always told "common is common, but keep your eyes open for the red flags."

So, I memorized everything word by word, symptom by symptom, sign by sign. I kept my eyes open for the red flags. I did everything they taught me to do.

But truly and in the back of my mind, I always just thought of all of it as words in a book, fiction.

Problem is, it's real </3

I'm tired of leaving

I'm tired of leaving,

I'm tired of containing myself while I say goodbye.
