Guess What the Tattoo Used To Be

Can you look at my butt cheek one more time? This tattoo used to be a funny phrase- I was only eighteen and at my PRIME, and went through a positivity phase :) Now my glutes are saggy with cellulite, dimples in places where the sun don’t shine- Lint found in rolls using a bright flashlight, my face covered in d r o o p p i n g baggy lines. I used to bench press two hundred ten pounds, now can’t carry my cane without shaking- Was the BIGGEST ladies man around, now all my frail feeble bones keep breaking! " I can never give up", it used to say- "I CAN NEVER GET IT UP" - - - says today! Which Of The Four Would You Choose - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Sara Kendrick Date Written: September 16, 2016
