For Me, My Life

After a therapeutic session visiting my favorite tattoo artist @ river city tattoo co. I felt relaxed and calm after several days of the opposite. I jotted down this rough little poem:



Close my eyes and hear the humm
I'm here because of some
days, good, some sad
a pat on the back,
a lasting reminder-

Of where I was and how I learned...

wisdom had.
later earned.
My tattoo is mine
and mine alone,

So I can remember,
hurt.
love.
change.
forever.

So go ahead,
put your nose in the air.

My body's my canvas
art to wear.

A heart on my sleeve,
Mine - HERE - for all to see.

Worry about you,
your life.

Mine is fine
I'll be alright.
