I have had a tattoo since I was seventeen. I shouldn't have been allowed to get it, but I knew the wrong people.

Sometimes people would ask me about it, but none ever got close enough to find out what it said, and if they asked, I said it was personal, but everyone could have this tattooed on them, and it would always be true.

Sometimes, some did get close to me, and this is what they read...

    Powerful line with multiple meanings! Well done!

  • I absolutely loveeeeee that line! Also, this challenge, shouldn't it be a poem submitted to the Poets community?

  • Annie Kapur8 months ago

    Oh I absolutely adore this. What a wonderful and concise perspective you have. Also, it would definitely make a great tattoo! I can just picture the whole design. Simply beautiful ๐Ÿ’
