Day 81 "Clever, Smart And Silence"

In the silence that we can manage to find in our busy days, when the distractions fully subside, and all you are left to hear is the honest fear and understanding of what you must do next to uncover the truth. In this moment we see some clarity in it all.

Everyone plays games, games of the mind, and games of the heart. Some of us play for laughs while others play for keeps. Some play for excitement, while others play to lose.

These games that have us struggling to stay one step ahead of an emotional checkmate. 

These games of proving hope and of destroying it as well.

In this silence we sleep with angels and wake up with demons, and we inevitably set ourselves up for the downfall.

This has always been just a game.

All we can ever hope is that we are wrong, just this time, that we are wrong.

If there is logic in hiding a deception to try and save a soul, then I am not fit for reason.

If there is goodness in lies then I am running low on any redeemable qualities.

In the silence I know what I must do, and they will not appreciate me playing their game, for they fashion themselves clever and me a fool.

But clever and smart are not the same thing.

And while you waited for them to laugh, I made sure that they won't.

In Silence.
