Suffering Beauty

Tattooed scar of colourful ink No patience for your fade Diverting the truth of what they think Diverting all your aid When you first hid behind the mask You were bothered by an itch Like the time you got that eager urge To pull out every stitch Complimented on the pain You suffered for your art A cut so deep Down in the flesh You camouflage your heart Underneath your radiance You feel the real dull pain But the scar that shows them who you are Is beauty all the same

Hey skat, thanks for the warm welcome. About me...? Lets just say ive been through a lot of different experiences for a 27 year old. Been writing for a few years but only starting to get the hang of it. Not used to such positive feedback. I get critiqued by uni students andfind them a bit harsh at times. What about urself? *hug*
