there's an alarm inside my mind and it's ticking all the time but i know where peace resides and that's where i'm gonna hide cause that alarm will go off someday and i'll awake to see i'm not ok so i'll just think myself away before i go insane... and i have dealt with my pain i have ingrained it in my brain and inked it on my arms tattoos are the opposite of scars... fumbling backwards inside my mind to a recess so deep inside that little place i used to hide when i had too much on my mind and i had to get away to try and think myself ok i only drove myself insane... and i have dealt with my pain i have ingrained it in my brain and inked it on my arms tattoos are the opposite of scars bleed it out or fill it in it's all the same i'd do it again no shame in this i have no regrets but i have 34 dreams i'll never forget she's run my mind since she went away now she's on my hand and the pain eases away all the ink in my arms brings sanity some way the important parts of me the memeories of those days will never fade away no you'll never fade away and i have dealt with my pain i have ingrained it in my brain and inked it on my arms tattoos are the opposite of scars... - time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go so make the best of this test and don't ask why it's not a question but a lesson learned in time |

T, Awesome Poem! I also love the idea that tattoo's are the opposite of scars. I had a tat put around my ankle last year, it is there so I/others always have a physical reminder that my children Erin and Quinn did exist.. I love your style of poetry and have gone back and read your earlier posts.. I hear them as song's, do you write music too? You have alot of talent, keep 'em coming! Can I print this out and keep it?? ~Lori [This message has been edited by angelsamongus (edited 08-04-2000).] |

T, excellent writing. I too enjoyed the line "tatoos are the opposite of scars". That is a very interesting analogy. |

As and old songwriter myself I can see the musical lyrical formations here. I like the title...it says a lot when you get into this song poem. Great stuff! I just love reading this kind of work..keep up the good work buddy. |
