A Farewell Letter To My Loyal Friend

It’s 3 in the morning. The sound of silence and uncertainty is sonorous, it startled you awake. Your eyes, wide open, darted at the empty space of the ceiling as you started pondering about your current state.

You took a deep breath and instead of positivity, you inhaled all the possible negativities that this lifetime could offer you. You didn’t want to, but you can’t help but welcome the feeling of being constantly dubious. Sucks, right? Slowly losing your control, you unconsciously became a marionette of anxiety, going to the direction where the thin and fragile strings tell you to. Trying your best to run through the right path, the puppeteer pulls you back to the opposite side. You looked up to check whoever controls you. There was no one but a huge mirror.

You glared at your own likeness and saw your eyes as it waters. And just like that, tears came gushing out like rain. Upon looking at your own reflection, you later realized that no one is stopping you from being genuinely blissful but you. Fears are slowly eating and leading you to sadness and misery. It is unfortunate how it is something that you simply have no control over.

In the silence of your heart, you deeply prayed, “Tomorrow another day starts anew and I hope to permanently say goodbye to you, my loyal friend. Goodbye, anxiety.”

Love,

Once A Marionette
