Dark ink pinching my skin

Hugging the curves

Embracing the pores

I am who I am

In my nature I'm artsy

Not just when I'm tipsy

Twisted lines

And tangled details

Sometimes just for fun

And sometimes speaking a story

Of the once upon a time

Of this particular date

I don't want to forget

Or this one person's name

That means much to my heart

I wanted it engraved

On my own body

With no such thing called shame

Of making what i want to be memorable

Scripted on my own being

Carried with me everywhere

Maybe some words of encouragement

In this sea of disappointment

That we call our lives

Sending whispers of hope

Up all the way through my veins

In my darkest of hours

When I slightly start to lose the faith

So that whenever I catch a glimpse

Of this piece of art on my skin

I remember what is true

And the person I should be

The one I so want desperately
