To My Anna Banana

What happens when your go-to isn’t as accessible as they used to be?

I feel deprived and neglected.

I feel negative and disrespected.

Why were you taken from me?

Maybe this was all a test—

a test of strength and faith.

Or maybe you didn’t need my guidance anymore.

Or maybe it was to better yourself.

You never intended to leave me or anyone behind.

You were doing everything out of love.

You deserve to leave and experience better things

that I might not be able to offer.

So I beg of you—stay on the right track.

Never doubt in your mind that I don’t have your back from out here.

You are loved and supported.
