I Draw the Line

There are just certain lines, that never should be crossed. They are drawn, stark and clear. To keep morals from being lost. Yet some folks dance in shadows, they live just to blur the line. They revel in the color grey, justifying it in their own mind.
For the contest Shadows and Lines Sponsored by Rick Parise Placement: 3rd
