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

personally
I think no one, should dictate
what you can or should
or should not, do
with your body
be it, tattoo's or anything else..
some of the most, considerate
and wise people
I have met in my life, have tattoos and piercings
galore..
yet, its just a form of expression
to them
a way to deal-with or release or immortalise
something they're going through
or have survived..
(but, tattoo's
as trend frenzy, fashion fads
is just an idiotic notion, to me
forgive me..)
so well reasoned and written
thanks for sharing, dear poet
LB, yes I agree about people I’ve met too. Tatted and pierced alike have been some genuine and good hearted souls. Of course to Tat or not to tat, doesn’t make the person, their words and actions do. Thanks for engaging in the conversation.
