Scars and Tattoos
Instead of tattoos, I would rather have scars on my skin, Scars are colorless and brutal, but they are symbols of my win. The win over the wound, and the win over a world that rejects flaws, The scar that I know is the beauty of my life’s experiences and applause. At least scars would carry a story of my experiences from the past, A tattoo would carry a memory too, but not a learning that would last. A tattoo would be nothing more than a lie and an attempt at manifestation, But a scar would always remind me of real pain and the journey of its transformation. A tattoo would look more attractive than a scar, indeed, But falling for beautiful things has mostly made me fall and bleed. How, where, and when we want to get a tattoo done is our free will, But no one would want to have stitches and scars for fun and chill. A tattoo might bring some disappointments and regrets over time, But a scar will always come with lessons, and acceptance will be prime. ...
