Single Red Line
One red line
Insignificant
Just like her
Spinning around in a never ending world
Never knowing where she fit in
Constantly scared
Constantly judged
Painful day after day
Until she came to find a savior
Broken glass
From mirrors past
A sharper edge
Than the words thrown at her from a cruel world
Perfect porcelain cover
Now marked by a single red line
Far from the end
It continued
Again and again
Until that skin
So perfectly unmarred
Was now a mosaic of harsh red lines
Deeper and deeper everyday
Mirroring her pain
Until one day
There were no more marks to be made
Because there was no more space
In one final effort
To ease her pain
Another single red line
Except instead of on her vein
This one came around her throat
Then all the pain departed
No one left broken-hearted
