Poem explaining tattoo:

-Feeling distracted yet lonely

hoping this pen will console me

but it’s as if the ink has been stolen

No words are forming ...

Cant deny that Life has taught me lessons and those lessons turned blessings

got this cargo on my back

but I try not to stress it

my whole life I pretended to be strong with no actin

this shit HAD to be real ,

cuz deep In my hearts where I felt it !

I got this pain that I thought buried,

& now it’s resurfaced

Poor little brain all the hurtful things You can’t help but u remember/

retaining pain and hiding things from the darkest of memoirs /

Suppressing truths while creating a blind version of me .... not the she I remember

Not the she I concede

Oh holy Hail to the greatest performance I surrender

I surrender myself to the truth

I rebuke the lies that starts with you

I give praise and sang hallelu-jah

For I am getting back to me ...

Seeing things I thought that I could never see

Taking back the validity I only lent to my past

Moving forward and removing all facades

Burning all masks

Depression can’t have me

Anxiety WONT WIN

Suicide is for the weak

Probably the greatest of sins

My life was blessed with purpose

I’m letting go of the hurt

Unclenching my fists

They say you must forgive for you

And not for your assailant

It’s No one else but your choice to live

And only you can shout from the brightest stars and roundest moons as loud as you can that I.AM.HERE

“A semicolon tattoo is a tattoo of the semicolon punctuation mark (;) used as a message of affirmation and solidarity against suicide, depression, addiction, and other mental health issues.”

This tattoo is my vow to always love myself even when I don’t feel deserving of it, To never attempt to hurt myself, to cherish the life I’ve been blessed with and to live it to the fullest everyday of it.
