This is a poem, to all those like me
to all those who don’t suffer,
and who is just here to be

I have no big dream
and I don’t want much from life
maybe a good job,
and to die without strife

I will simply just exist,
and be happy and be sad
someone who won’t be remembered
because I’m neither good
nor am I bad

I am not unique,
I am not strong and I’m not weak

I am just here,
for a fleeting second of time
it doesn’t really matter
that I even wrote this rhyme

My purpose here will not vary
I’ve got none,
and that’s because I’m completely ordinary.
I am not special - as I have written in my profile. I will not become someone great, not because I can't, because I don't have the ambition.

what am i now
am i someone you can live without

i wish i'm not
someone you can just forget about

i hope someday
you look back in the past
and remember me with a burning clarity
the way i stared into your eyes
like you were the one tethering me to this earth

but you let go
and i flew away
down the earth down the ocean

i am gone
and you let me be
and i hope you remember

A griffon fights leviathan upon my left forearm
As phoenix rises underneath, regal rebirth from the war

Clouds adorn my bicep
Created as a place to play
For curious birds drawn out of bones;
Symbols of life's pain

A charm is etched into my chest
To ward away the wickedness,
That surrounds me on my path

And cheaply done tribal
on my right shoulder,
A remnant to teenage aftermath

A mural of light and dark is juxtaposed
From left to right upon my back
Serves me as a guiding light
And reminds me of my proper track

Art is created of many forms
And each of their beauties is akin
I am living cautionary tale
And a gorgeous canvas made of skin
Every scar tells a story, every tattoo is a piece, and we are all artwork.  Even if tattoos aren't your style, keep creating art of all kinds.  And take a minute to think about what each person's art means to them.  Always support your brethren artists.

As things come and go,
I promise not to let you go.
Even if its distance we must face,
Know with me, you'll always have a place.
Wether your hours or miles away,
In my heart, forever you will stay.
Sometimes we need space
memory lane is longer than i remember
every woe felt and then forgotten
so now that i choose to look back
every good moment has turned to something rotten
just going through mementos and remembering how many times people have hurt me and how i chose to forget and forgive....

This must be destiny

I hear echoes of warnings from my former self ricocheting in my head

This must be deserved for the plethora of ways I have hurt people

To mark me with pain I will remember and maybe be a better person

This must be fate
There was no other way out

I still hope things will improve but I think this suffering was intended and therefore my punishment must be served
Guilty as charged

Please remember, you are beauty.
Moulded by the hands of the ones you love.
Carved by the tools of those you despise.
Sculpted by the ancients who inspire you.
Glazed with joy and laughter.
Fired by the flames of passion.
And displayed for all to admire.
Please remember, my dear, you are art of the purest form.
A day when anyone can be lovely,
Giving surprises or gifts.
Someone wants a hug or just a kiss,
There will also be a couple that are lovey-dovey.

Remember it's not a day just for couples,
It could be between your mother or father.
Also give your heart with sweet colors,
It's important to have self love.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY❤️
