Write into my skin my truth so I may be silent yet have to world know me
Carved into to my brow my thoughts so over will see clearly what is on my mind
Tattoo my broken heart onto my hand so when it is offered they understand how much there is there to mend
Carve the names of those before by blood or by status: Barbara, Willimena, Robert Lee, Marlene, Herby, Matthew, Harvey, Malcolm, Martin Luther, and Rosa; into my back as a reminder of those who have lived, fought, and died for me to have what I have
Brand onto my soul the name of the one who is meant for me to share it, so when they come I will know of them
Scroll before my eyes my name my hopes and dreams, for the come before and lover or friend and must be protected at all cost
All of this is etched into the stone that is me, hopefully the world won't erode that which has been written
