Bruised
A bruise happens when a part of the body is injured and blood from the damaged capillaries leaks out. With no place to go, the blood gets trapped under the skin, forming a red or purplish mark that's tender when you touch it. We have bruises in society aswell. Trapped in their own body, nowhere to go. They are hurt, but no one will ever know, until you touch them. Society will try to get rid of them, just like the body gets rid of a bruise. But society is more like a little kid who just fell with his bike. Some of the skin is broken. Visibly bleeding. Just like the people who's tears streak their face. They couldn't hold them back anymore. Some of the skin is bruised. Pain you won't know is there until its provoked.
