Tattoo

i want to someday get me a tattoo
but feel I don't have the flesh to
on others it emphasises beauty
brings out their natural sexiness
while on me it would be a travesty
so I can only dream to one day join that league
people wonder how they will look when they're old
I'm already there or so I'm told
tattoos compliment a sexy body
you wear one yourself they look with envy
while on me who am I it would look bad
sucking up all the confidence I had
so I'll just stay apart of 'they' while you guys play
make belive that's okay I could not pass as gay dismay!
wool sweats are my game and not ink
I'll put that tat gun down so I think.

it's something that one is born with
it is true not a myth
you can go places with your tattoo
people envy stalk and hire you.

I spend many dark sleepless nights
trying to love myself trying to see the light
but damn the message is hard to sink in
when beauty is still defined as thin
not blaming you but our fucked up media
when to control the herd is on the agenda
telling us lies causing them to think they're right
but I know you can't make someone like you
just think the same quest doesn't bear any low fruit
so either way it seems so moot I'm fucked
live like an outcast then or pay to get fucked
I was never sexy literally
in the sense of the word majestically
so virgin it is then poetically!
but I know you can't make someone like you ....
