[O-T-T-O]
It tells a story of who I really am
A story of pain & misery
It might be short
But underneath that is a long long tale
A tale that most people don't get.
Because I wear this scar every day
It reminds me that I can go through hell
And still wake up the next morning & live my life
To look down at it, keeps me pushing to be someone one day, to become what it is not.
Its darkness is not just in my blood, my body, & my soul.
Sometimes the darkness takes over me
It makes me feel like I'm nobody
Like I have no purpose of living
Those are the days of pain & misery
Those days are hard for me to get through
so I write the pain & misery with this pen
& paper then I burn it
To let people know it won't control me
Or take over who I really am.
O-T-T-O is my name,
But not my story.
This tattoo is a reminder of why i fight and what reason I have to fight for. One day I will be everything that this tattoo is not.
