Ink (Trigger Warning)

● S k i n ●

All the ink under my skin,
Bleeds deep, arms coloured in.
Each line tells a story,
The life I lived, the lack of glory.

Covered up by black tattoos,
Are the vivid reminders of my blues.
Deep white scars, spread like wings,
Except these jagged lines don't set me free.

Black ink under taut skin,
Hiding the damaged body not so deep within.
