You see that little girl?
yes the one with tatoos.
she doesnt look too young,
but her body is covered in abuse.
with every stroke of the needle
she's induring less pain
than the story that she's telling
of her life stuck in the rain.
from beginning to end
the needle paints her life on top,
but at the end of this all
the pain down inside will be the only pain she's got.

every picture is a statement
and every word is her hope,
thats with her, till the end of this,
till her determination goes for broke.

so dont call it artwork
because its nothing near the same.
its her story of a lifetime
and her constant cover of pain.

Such a tragic waste of what could be
the art, the unique personality that could have been...covered forever, I'm afraid.
You've painted this one well, poet.

This aches. This truly, truly aches. You have painted a picture that is far too common. So sad. Such a waste. Such a shame.

Giving you a warm, welcoming hug,

You have really caught a meaning of skinart in these words. Yes, there is pain here, and I can understand that when there is pain, one needs to find an outlet. You caught my attention and held it with this one. Very well done!

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
