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!
