The Essence Of Who I Am

I want my body to turn into poetry 

I want his hand to glide across the pages

I want strangers to read me like a book 

I want the world to feel raw through the ages 

I want my family to understand how beautiful i am

I don’t mind standing out 

I want them to know how powerful i am 

I don’t mind be talked about 

I want my children to trace the stories on my skin and ask me to read it to them

All you see is a tattoo that you wish wasn’t there

I’m turning myself into art sealing the brokenness with gold paint

But all you see is that my brokenness is being accentuated everywhere

M.A.P
