The beauty of tattoos

A Poem

By S. G. MarinPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

My body is a canvass

The artwork tells a story

Pay close attention

To all the pain and all the glory

I cannot tell you everything

Of which you wish to seek

But if you keep your eyes wide open

My ink will surely speak

Troubled journeys that haunt us so

And memories of light

The story forming on my body

Is one that's full of sight

I am written in every color

Formed from my own mind

So, when you do look closely

Tell me what you find

For my body is a canvass

The artwork tells a story

So, please, pay close attention

To all the pain and all the glory.
