Tattoos

Just a self expression story/poem thing I guess.

People say that people with tattoos are freaks

That we are mean, inconsiderate, and sinners

People tie in tattoos with religions

Just because your's says it's wrong

Doesn't mean that I can't have one

I don't even believe in the same thing you do

But I don't judge you do I?

I have a lion king tattoo on my right ankle

And under it in cursive, it says "Remember who you are" 

To me, tattoos show who I am, and what I believe in

That line always means so much to me

And has helped me through my darkest times

I plan on getting another similar to it

Only the logo of Evanescence will be the next one

Amy has saved me from suicide, cutting, and depression 

And every day I look at my tattoos, I remember what I have been through

And how strong I have become

So before you judge me about my tattoos

Try walking a day in my shoes

You'll find I'm more than meets the eye.

Tattoos are mark of honor. I'm 1/2 Ojibwa and I have a wolf, hawk and family norm (A heart with a arrow.) People do look at you strangely 20 years ago. Today world. Most folks have tattoos. I like your reason for the tattoo. Good reminders of who we are and was. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I sat here listening to you behind my eyes. This is a College town, I visit the coffee shops and sit and write a bit. Sometimes a person will pause but mostly not, seems there is much too much for students to focus upon - just out of sight. You've a thought-full tat and a "good way".
