Tattered tattooed Man

Yet again, my imagination runs wild and I lash out at an imaginary man covered in old gnarly tattos - Enjoy!

Alone

You are

In this bar,

Surrounded by

Strangers.

The installation

Of my thoughts

Into your mind

Has occurred.

Memories of tattered tattoos

And blurred

Visions of who you

Used to be.

You think we don’t

See you

In the corner?

No foreigner

In site;

Not you,

Not him,

Not them.

This is not a game.

I will not try to tame

Your livid attitude

Based on falsified information.

How about some gratitude?

You selfish prick.

Sitting in the corner,

Tattered tattooed man

Without a soul,

Or goal,

Or life to live

Outside this bar.

You are no one.

So shine your shoes

And say your prayers

As we all watch you

Come undone.

And for each drink

That you gulp down

I will have two for you.

And spew it upon your

Brand new designer shoes,

And watch that temper roar.

You’ll see me smile

And walk away

Straight out the front door.

And you will remain a distant,

Horrendous

Memory,

Tattered tattooed man.

awesome poem. reminds of a Slipknot song.......Hey......but I hope u dont hate all men with tattoos.......I have tattoos on my arm that are visible jaja.....some people get intimidated by me when they see it.....but then realized im just a regular dude.

anyways.....yes some people are still in High School in their mind....so this tattooed guy still has the High School Mentality of a jock. So going to bars and trying to bang chicks is his lifes game.......quite pathetic.... for his life wont get any warmth. Just an endless cycle of delusion and the only accomplishment he feels is getting off with a stranger or a girl he used.........great piece
