What if everyone's story
Was tattooed on their skin?
Their greatest deeds
Their greatest sin
All the sadness you've ever felt
All the happiness too
Every triumph
Every Waterloo
What would you see
When you look upon me?
Would I see such too
When I look upon you?
Your mother's death
Your grief and pain
Your friends' hugs
Keeping you sane?
It would all be there
Plain as day
How would I act?
What would I say?
Would I be kind?
Would I be mean?
If I knew all about you
Which way would I lean?
If everyone's story
Was tattooed on their skin
Bearing our greatest deeds
And our biggest sins
Would we show compassion?
For what another's been through
I'd like to think so
Cause you would see me too

That is a clever write about the fact we are not aware of each others life`s and tribulations and what some people have been through, and if we could see, would we treat them different. A enjoyable and poignant read
