Lines

Lines are in front of everything she sees.

She sees her friends walk through the hall...lines.

She walks her dog around the block...lines.

She reads the back of a pill bottle...lines.

She buys some new box cutters...lines.

She writes a note...lines.

She sees the crimson liquid flowing from her wrist...lines.

She blinks a few times as she realizes what is happening.

The lines are a bit transparent.

She throws the blade.

The lines are a bit easier to see through.

The next day she wears a smile, which is something she hasnt done in a while.

The those lines were hardly visible.

She makes new friends that love and care for her, and she loves them too.

The lines are so faint she hardely notices them. 

The next day?

The lines are gone.

She had finally broken out of the cage that was holding her in.

Those lines, show up from time to time.

She just talks to one of her loving friends and those lines go away yet again.

She went from the girl who almost lost everything, to finding the one thing to live for.

Author's Note

The lines are the bars of the cage if ya didnt already figure out..

i like the poem because one finds the revelations of something greater than oneself in the end. however i do not agree that living for other people when one is not quite fond of oneself is true happiness. i hope im not offending you.

first, honey no matter what throws at you or what people might do to you the only chance to the revelations of survival is the inward gratification that unless you allow them they really cannot hurt you.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

but i love the poem

keep being tough

Intriguing. Almost like a rags to riches tale, first she has nothing but by the end she has found friends and the feeling of love. Very sentimental, and more intense than a usual rags to riches tale. Thank you.

[Sashalee]

This was very emotional, and pouring out.
Each line spoke of achievments and spoke of a new begining.
Loved it!
