The Silent Killer

So they disappointed you, turned their backs on you. They gossiped and carried around lies fabricated about you. All while knowing your character and the great possibility of them being false accusations. When the world was in their hands they didn’t even think to check in on you. You’ve always been good to them, always honest, always caring, always consistent. But things are going fabulous in their lives so…. They never even bothered to hear your side of these fictitious stories. It’s almost like they wanted to believe it. Not even one phone call to ask one question about what they heard and if it had any truth. But things are moving in the right direction for them so…. Does it even matter that the person who delivered the dirt has a messy wrap sheet? Does it matter that they have never witnessed or imagined you doing or being what was told to them? Well things are looking great in their lives so…. You have tried countless times to explain or express your position. And articulate the true nature of the person behind this. When you talk they don’t listen. When you cry they don’t care. Because things are going great for them so…. Time goes on, you move forward recognizing that your silence keeps you from hurting. You already know who you are so convincing others is just not an option anymore. Silence can bring truth to light. It can kill all the lies, bring out the truth, and expose all the toxic people. You’re at peace with your past and feeling confident in your present and future. Time moves on and on and on. The woodwork has people coming out. Some of them want to know how you’re doing? Some even want to hear your side. But why does that matter? Well things aren’t going good in their lives so…. The person that created this circle of evil webs has unraveled. And everyone is beginning to see the real them unveiling. Now questioning if they were lying, Thinking how they should have discussed it with you. But why does that matter? Why does that matter? Well things are falling apart in their lives right now so…. They’re having thoughts and regrets about how instrumental and excellent of accomplices they were in this charade. Because things are so fragile in their lives so…. There is so much effort into connecting with you now. They really are interested in hearing your voice? But why, why now? Because their life is upside down so…. You are the person that has always been there. And always lifted them up but…. When things were great for them you didn’t matter. So, now silence from you. And surprisingly silence from the one who deceived them to hurt you. It doesn’t pay off to be the strings of a puppet master. In a show where you don’t care or know how the script ends. Silence allows you to hear and to see people for who they really are. Silence kills the people that wronged you. Silence forces people to look in the mirror and examine themselves. As long as you recognize and are at peace. Silence can help the wounded move forward and triumph. And for the others you better talk sooner than later. Before you end up hearing nothing but a pin drop.
