📚 The Pretty Words and Poetry Dump 📚

“What do your tattoos mean?”

I know how to suffer for art
I am a museum made of skin,
a stamped passport
of the places and people
I have been,
a dermal tapestry
dedicated solely to
weaving the story of me
and like all art
it is subjective,
designed to
disturb the comfortable
and comfort the disturbed
I am the illustrated man
gazing backward lovingly
as I move forward
through love
through pain
through life itself.
