A tigress through pain and sense of shame
Purple stripes stretch across cream flesh
Mostly hidden behind clothes out of frame
Wear them loud and wear them proud
Your fierceness is not the thing to blame
Scream out this is me, THIS IS ME!
Fist to heart, I am not one you can tame
They are there, my badge of honor
Blue-purple etches that need acclaim
I am proud of that which my body can do
The infertility, the loss, the shame I overcame
A magma rage though my heart and soul
Like bright red embers setting my flesh aflame
Leaving behind a network of etched art
