A Beautiful Lie

She often tries to keep silent about the things that she doesn't want to let anyone know about. She would rather let its seeds sow where it would do more harm than good than to let it out where help awaits. All because she sometimes doesn't want to put others in a situation where they are at a loss as to what to do or to say to her. Or perhaps she doesn't believe that there ever will be any reliable help. Or at least that's what we think she is doing. Perhaps there is a more sinister reason for it. But will we ever know? But sometimes, inadvertently , through her own actions, her words, her expressions, she reveals to the world more than she had ever intended to. And as a result she often finds herself in situations where she finds difficulty in answering questions that are associated with her troubles. She stumbles upon her words and hardly finds clarity in them. Sometimes, she even covers for them with her white lies. But perhaps that's who she is and all that she will ever be. A beautiful lie. Unattainable for all the good reasons.
