got these new tattoos on me.

they just sit there, and it's just pigment that sits dead beneath the skin-
means nothing,

and to think some people build their whole lives around them,
whole personalities
around a ******* tiger on their calf
or bird on their neck.

all they have to offer.

i hope mine get ugly and old-- just further proof I needed nothing to prop me up.

I only ever got ahead because of me.
