Tattoo

I only regret that the things that have changed me the most have not left physical marks, scars to proclaim the most telling moments of my life. I have marks without any story to them, but the most rending events that have transpired have left me untouched, feeling unnaturally blank. I have felt like a page missed by the press, a story unfinished, for the past six years. Now of course there is more than one mark I lack, but the most important one makes me feel unbalanced for the lack of it. Perhaps now my outside will feel closer to matching my insides.
