I Am Not A Poet

I have never been accused of being an eloquent man. I have lots of stuff in my head that just stay there because typing is very hard for me - that's why I don't blog consistently. And it's also kinda embarrassing because my spelling is poor (people love to scoff at the bad spelling guy- and assume him to be an idiot). Truth is I'd write all day long if I didn't stink at writing and typing . I wish I could express how much it hurts not to express how much it hurts to have all this stuff locked up inside me. Enough lamentation!
Here's some words from my head:
I once had ink on my skin
it was painful to get on
the image saved me
but not the ink
the image was indelible before it was on and in my skin.
it was more painful to come off
marlboros can be useful
this ink is gone now for years
the image still saves me
indelible
the image alive and willing to save
to give a new skin
the scarred hand (scared and sacred would have worked as well- God loves this bad speller)
so faint now
now one knows it was ever there
but the indelible image
the indelible one
I hope that they can see it
I hope that you can see him
on my skin?
COMING THROUGH IT!
