Tattoo
It’s a mark that tells a story sad but true
Colored and displayed for all to read
A memorial of a time that I got through
Maybe even a conversation piece indeed
They say the soul’s windows are the eyes
But sometimes it takes a little better view
A painful little reminder to make you wise
A motto or symbol of what is true of you
So not everyone gets it and that’s okay
But before you pass judgement so fast
Maybe you should ask their story one day
You might think differently at the last
Could be you see another side of them
Even if it’s something you’d never do
For me it’s not just something of a whim
I’ve thought a long time about this tattoo
