Blending In~~~ Broots

Camouflage is a protection that I know well.

Becoming invisible to others,

Blending into the background.

I am a master at the technique

I've perfected the craft

But only because I have to.

I never wanted to do this,

To hide,

To evade,

To keep my head low

And my eyes averted.

But we seldom get what we want

And though I hate it,

It allows me to survive.

Survival is all that matters in the Centre.

So if I must accomplish it

By staying low,

And keeping silent,

Then I will.

If not for my sake, then for my daughter's

Who has no idea what I do,

Or what my job truly is.

Who doesn't know that every day,

Could be my last if I'm not careful.

And I'll keep it that way,

I'll keep her in the dark,

To keep her safe

From those who'd do her harm

Just to make me work.

But I can't help but feel

Angry,

Resentful,

And yes, even bitter

At the fact that I must stoop so low

That I must act the part

Of the fool,

The idiot,

The naïve and harmless lackey

Who is no more than a means

For others to get information

So that they may better their lives

And their positions.

If I truly wanted to,

I could rip this place apart.

Byte, by byte, I could destroy them

Annihilate, and demolish them

So completely and utterly

That the Centre would be just a bad memory,

A forgotten nightmare.

I've considered it,

I've come so close,

I've hovered my finger over the mouse,

Knowing that all it would take was a single click

To wipe all information,

The very heart of the Centre,

Away.

Forever.

But then I remember my daughter,

And her kind and caring smile,

Wonderfully oblivious 

Of where I go every morning.

And I draw my hand away.

Yes, I could destroy this place,

And I loathe every minute

That I must play the dupe,

Every second that I must spend hiding,

Just to survive.

But for my daughter,

My sweet, and unaware daughter,

I'll remain harmless and ignored.

And for her, and only her,

I'll blend into the background.
