Tattoo

Could have cut into my flesh.

Feeling like I am less.

But these beautiful scars.

Prove that people can win wars.

Head to head with my own will.

As the artist shows his skill.

Creating this new skin.

Letting life renew again.

Releasing all of my pain.

This piece of art I will gain.

Carrying what I feel within.

On the outside of my skin.

Could have cut into my flesh.

Made a great big mess.

But these beautiful scars.

Prove that people can win wars.

Though my past is revealed.

I feel that I can heal.

Worn on my sleeve.

I can feel the reprieve.

Could have cut into my flesh.

When I felt like I was less.

But these beautiful scars.

Prove that I can win wars.

Head to head with my own will.

As the artist shows his skill.

Creating this new skin.

Letting life renew again.
