An Ode To My Foe...

To,
the one who was always
with me when I was sad,
I know I am acknowledging you after such a long time. I remember how jovial and crazy people thought I was,what with teasing and laughing with my friends all day and having a" I don't care" attitude to anything anyone told me. After all, aren't we teenagers? We know what's best for us.

But after entering into the safe realms of a closed door and ensuring that there are no peepholes for people to pry, I would sit down and start crying my lungs out.And there you were, face as dark as ever with red eyes, smirking and lurking around the corner,and as if you knew I would always surrender to you.

It was already a month and I had pretended for almost a month that I was fine ,but I knew I had become your prey and you would break me until I would sit on my knees and beg you to go away,to leave my life... initially I had the strength to get away from you,but it waned hour by hour and day by day... I had almost given up. I found solace in sleep and that was all I did for almost two weeks, getting up to attend classes and after sometime the trouble you had created started showing signs..dark circles under eyes,a gloomy smile,ruffled up hair and self infliction all over my body.

People started asking me what had happened and I didn't know the reason but I could just say I am sad. I didn't know the words to explain it....

Why did you hunt only for me??? Didn't I plead you to stay away from my life??
At the point when I thought I had to give up and give you my soul so you could suck whatever was left of it,there came an angel ( I didn't believe in angels before you see). I don't know if it was the magic she cast on me or was it her smile, but it gave me strength to fight you,and stay far,far away from you.Though the battle was against me and you,that angel was my support , without which I wouldn't have fought you .I believe she was god-sent.

There aren't enough words to express my gratitude to her

I'm not saying now also I have completely defeated you but I have the strength now to face you and can pass on that strength to tons of other people to fight you.

You will not be the cause for another person to die.
Until the next time we meet....
From,
the person who is happy to
get rid of you, even if it is for a few years.
