Tattoos

This is a poem I wrote...

The pain of getting a new tattoo
Is just the same as the pain inside of you
It hurts when it happens, but heals with time
What's left is important and always kept in mind.

The answers are in the ink
The joy is in the journey
The pain is more than what you think
It's really everlasting learning.

Know what means the most to you
And the light will always shine
If you keep it close to you
Especially in the darkest time.

Remember what you've taught yourself
Use it everyday
To keep you present and to help
All along the way.
