Underneath my sleeve, a story hides,
A mark of hope where pain once cried.
The nights were long, the shadows deep,
Dreams got lost where silence creeps.
I thought the road was too rough to tread
The weight too heavy
The words unsaid
The chapters twisted
The pages frayed
But the sun kept risin', even when I fell low,
And this little mark says there's more to go.
Not a period, not the end,
Just a pause, a curve to mend.
A semicolon where the pain had been.
A whisper of hope in the blackest night
a moment in time.
A breath I had to take,
When the weight of it all felt too much to shake.
It's a semicolon tattoo, a pause, not a stop,
A promise to myself when I'm ready to drop.
It says, "Keep on goin', there's still more to write,"
In the chapters ahead, there's a brighter light.
Semicolon ink, a line so small,
But it holds the weight of it all.
A story paused, but not erased,
Life continues, steps retraced
The heart beats on
Come what may
Every scar
Every fall
They built this ground
My story isn't over yet
So here I stand
With the strength I found.
The ink's still wet
The sun's not set
A promise made
I won't forget
A symbol of the life I claim
A quiet vow
A burning flame
And when the shadows creep and call
This mark remind me of it all
It's a semicolon tattoo, a pause, not a stop,
A promise to myself when I'm ready to drop.
It says, "Keep on goin', there's still more to write,"
In the chapters ahead, there's a brighter light.
Semicolon ink, a line so small,
But it holds the weight of it all.
A story paused, but not erased,
Life continues, steps retraced
It’s a scar, it’s a sign,
It’s a truth that’s mine.
'Cause the storms keep raging, but I hold on tight,
And this little tattoo says I choose to fight.
