Reflecting Upon My Tattoo by *MindOfGenius:iconMindOfGenius:



This tattoo make me burn
Burning an image
In the back of my mind
NO REGRETS!!!
erom enod ev'dluoc
What could I do?

How could I change
What I couldn't see
What went wrong
ANOTHER JOE!!!
mih ot rednik eb
Been there more?...

Given up hope
Not my fault
Not my job to raise
LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!
ti od nac uoy
He used to be so kind and happy...

And so this daily reminder
Of why I'm here
My last wordly chain
WHY LISTEN TO EMPATHY?!?!
dluohs uoy wonk uoy esuaceb
I'm here for him.

This tattoo make me burn
Burning an image
In the back of my mind
NO REGRETS!!!
erom enod ev'dluoc
What could I do?

-For you, Eric.
    I am here for you.
       As unwilling as I may be-
          I am here for you.

My God, I didn't know how this came over me...this is for and about my little brother, Eric. Joe is my older brother, who once threw Dad out on the street literally. He's run off to Monterey. I wrote this actually mostly following a stanza pattern. Yes, I'm talking about my penguin tattoo; this one: [link]

One of my muses shouts, yet is softly heard- the other whispers hidden meanings I have to find on my own...

Yes, there's a hidden meaning in here.

And so I must strengthen my resolve, for him.

Yet as much as I say this, a tear forms in my eye-
Not for him;
But for me...

Could this have been originated from 5/1/08 dream? (I see backward talk there!) Hmmm... Interesting!

I'm not happy in my little corner of the universe, so I made my own universe! (please don't ask me how) :)

actually, I threw in the backwards talk and put it in italics to help emphasize teh fact that my "good" muse rarely helps me out, but when (She? he? possible androgonus?) it does, it's quite touching and heartfelt and meaningful.

Wow, really cool. I like the backwards speak and the conversation in this piece.

Your brother ran off to Canada?
