Ink Therapy
I need more ink
It's better than seeing a shrink
The pain of the needle sinking in
Is so satisfying, it should be a sin
I don't need therapy
There's no better cure for misery
Than to hear the tattoo gun start
And feel it leaving its taboo art
Needles and ink, that's all I need
Art is only worth keeping if you bleed
It only hurts for a little while
And the whole time I'll wear a smile
It's better than seeing a shrink
The pain of the needle sinking in
Is so satisfying, it should be a sin
I don't need therapy
There's no better cure for misery
Than to hear the tattoo gun start
And feel it leaving its taboo art
Needles and ink, that's all I need
Art is only worth keeping if you bleed
It only hurts for a little while
And the whole time I'll wear a smile

The double meaning of "ink" in your poem is captivating.
You ink a poem and you ink tattoos. Both is art and releaving:-). I like this poem a lot since I double-ink, too :-).

It's beautiful and well written in rhyme, especially like the last part.
