A Different View Poem by Tatianna Rei Moonshadow

Drugs are not drugs in this world of mine
Rather they are a crutch for when you feel weak
My dealer is not merely a dealer
But a witch doctor that helps the lot of us sleep
These tattoos are not just ink on my skin
My artist is not only a tattoo artist in a shop
These tattoos are a book of memories and our skin an album
The artist is our teacher helping us deal with the pain until it stops
Please visit this world so different from yours
But refrain from the urge to stop and stare
This different view of life has done us plenty good
In a world full of people who don't want to go anywhere
People expect us to fail
They could never imagine we would ever rise up
We are laying in the waste but looking to the stars
No one was ever hurt by wishing nor wanting too much
