I CANT BE WHO U WANT ME TO BE CAUSE THAT AINT ME..

Here we go again a day with tattoos

Waking up in the morning looking at my body art

Thinking how does it define me as a person

The ink and message it sends out to people

Am I a renegade an outcast from society

A rebel with no hand cuffs from modern America

 

Does the world view me as

Careless,impulsive,reckless, and rebellious

Picturing the glances and stares from people passing

Wondering what are they thinking

Do I enjoy inflicting pain on my body

Are they thinking only if I had the guts

 

To exert my own personality in such a beautiful way

What is define as divine beauty untouched skin

Does my ink make me feel less intelligent

Why would I even ask myself that question

 

It empowers me

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Yea right that’s a saying programmed into us at birth

Don’t be yourself be afraid to live life and make choices

Be yourself not what someone else wants you to be

America land of the free

Home to some of the most judgmental people on earth

You can’t program me not I
