Beauty Is in the Eye

Behold

By Victor MendezPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I have no tattoos embedded on my skin. Tattoos have meanings. I have found none that can yet embody the meaning of my soul, therefore, I have none. My tattoos are in my words, they are fluid, like the blood coursing in my veins. They are imbedded in my heart and occasionally, when I cannot contain them any longer, they spill onto the white of a page and in black ink, I show you my tattoo. If you can see past the wreck of my ineptitude, perhaps, you will see into my soul! To see who I really am, a pensive animal luxuriating in the beauty of thought!
