White turns to pink,
Pink flows to red,
White peeks from underneath
Buried in the white
Is a river of purple
At a glance the line
Looks like a bruise
Under my flesh

But I know what it is
A pathway, living under my skin
Feeding oxygen to my fingertips

Breathe in, breathe out
I close my eyes
Imagine life different
See a smiling face
Dancing in rays of sun
A smile forms on my lips
It lingers for a moment
But it is a lie
So I give it up

Here alone, on my own,
No prying eyes,
I don't have to fake it.

I stand,
Letting the red flow
It drips of my fingertips
They're getting less oxygen now.
I walk to the mirror
Looking in my eyes
I see the truth
I don't know what's in there.
A lot of words meant to mean something. I'm deeply lost

The part about bruises really reached to my heart. People are always acquiring bruises from a fight or their tormentor, but the ones not shown are caused by their guardians hands.
