I have given up on trying To make myself perfect. To make myself someone I'm not. It takes too much strength, And I am so weak. Do you remember the days When no one cared? We were so young then. So innocent. We believed that we could have anything. What I would give to feel free again. But now we have sins drawn on our backs, And words of failure written on our scarred hands, And our memories tattooed in our souls, Reminding us of our limits.

Tattooed Soul
I have given up on trying To make myself perfect. To make myself someone I'm not. It takes too much strength, And I am so weak. Do you remember the days When no one cared? We were so young then. So innocent. We believed that we could have anything. What I would give to feel free again. But now we have sins drawn on our backs, And words of failure written on our scarred hands, And our memories tattooed in our souls, Reminding us of our limits.
