The Red Line

The red line deep trailing down the right side in a deep rut.
So deep it touches the soul.
Pain just to move or to talk.
Fear of what others may see when looking.
No covering it must remain visible for all to see.
Questions into my personal space.
Trying to make my dignity erase.
Strength of knowing what will be.
Makes each step easy.
No doubt no hope all in their place.
For this is something time will erase.

About this poem:
I got a boo boo going down the right side of my face. Lucky me no it will not scar. I have good skin as the doctor has always said. But when I go out in public people I do not even know come and ask me questions about is it going to scar. What happened? And I love the ones that tell me it is on my face and it is about four inches long. Ummm think I know that. It now is starting to heal and hurts a little still. snowed in
