The razor

She stared at the razor

It stared at her

It was calling her, begging her to use it.

So she did.

She used it.

To sharpen her pencil.

She kept her streak of being clean

It's only a piece of metal, it doesn't control your life.

She smiled, proud of herself

She didn't need the razor

She had the first genuine smile she had in a long time

Though her skin is scarred and ugly,

She's still fighting

She's strong.
