Cut. Stitch. Heal. Repeat.

Permanent Reminder

The permanent black lines
Etched into my skin

Each loop and curve
Crafting the perfect design

My wrist burning
The needle drawing blood

Within minutes,
It's done.

My butterfly tattoo
A protector of my skin

A reminder that I am sick
The savior from the steel

"What's it symbolize?"
Change, transformation, positivity

My mouth tastes like lead,
Spitting out the poisonous lies

They can never know the truth
It's not like they would care

Just a permanent reminder.
