There’s a ghost who resides in the deepest corner of our
being. I announced the climax of the story too soon. But, maybe it’s not the
end. That ghost perpetually owns us. The one that constantly compel us to suffer
like we were not supposed to be a part of this mediocre world. We are full of
insanity, anxiety and drama. If that was all, it would have been bearable to
the extent of earthly competency. But, the ghost is merciless. It is poisoning us
slowly and effectively. It is constantly trying to kill us with the thoughts it
succeeds in seeping into our minds bringing out the worst in us. This
monstrous ghost is the culprit behind our limitless tossing and turning at
nights. We fear about the next sun even before the moon shows up. The guilt we
carry within ourselves, even for the wrongs we didn’t do. That’s the worst part.
Slowly and unknowingly, we start blaming ourselves, at every step of life. If
there is anything, anything going the other way around us, we blame our own
deeds(which of course we aren’t even aware of.). If our loved ones are hurt or
worried for anything in the world, we blame self. Certain people don’t treat us
the way we are entitled to and we end up finding flaws within us. Why? The
ghost. That dwells within us. And as a lease, pays you with betrayal. How to
kill that ghost? We will never know, because that beast won’t ever let us. It
will always divert our mind to the thoughts that are painful. Painful enough to
scar our soul with toxic feelings.
That ghost, my love, can only be killed by an external
force. By another ghost who fights with your ghost and conquers your soul. It
soothes your scarred and bleeding soul with it’s serum of affection. One ghost
will always be the stronger one, who will overcome the other. The ghost is not
killed all at once. It keeps on coming back, and the other ghost has to fight
with it continuously to keep your soul at peace and when you come to possess that
other ghost, that my dear, is the climax. But, not to be mistaken for the end. It is the beginning of a beautiful, placid life.
