Tattoos

I'll destroy myself you say
But I dont want to be just another
Ordinary corpse.
I want my bones to be multicoloured 
My hair the colour of the sea
I want more tattoos 
Than stars under the sky
I want so many piercings
That when they reflect off the sun
They blind the people around me
I don't want to be just another 
Ordinary corpse
I won't let you take away
My chance to leave something behind
