The Music Within

--

My skin bares the proof — more than lived, I’ve survived

Invisible ink tells the tale

A mother, lover, and wanderer through life

A woman with stories for sale

Wounds of the broken with victorious hearts

Memories, carried, like badges of honor

Proud of my endeavors, and broken parts

Setting me apart from all of the others

I sing a song with every breath, the universe in tune, sings along

The tempo building — a unique symphony

And returns to me — a new song

Soundtracks of my life — play in perfect harmony

Tattooing my heart with its treasures

Giving me more than the passage in front of me

Granting a lifetime of pleasure
