Tattoo To Be

This image
Tells you more
Then my words could ever tell

It represents my pain
That is programmed into my brain
It explains why I want to go insane

It represents my hate
Towards the timing of life
Why am I never to soon but always too late?

It represents my sorrow
The reason why I cry at night
And pray to there wouldn't be a tomorrow

It represents my joy
That gets me through the darkness
Makes me believe that I'm not just a toy

These names
On my chest
Are carved into my soul
And matter more to me
Than all the rest

Gone they may be
But forget I never will
Cause every time I look in the mirror
I remember you still

    Good poem, but it did need to flow fluently in some areas of your poem to hold the readers attention, other than that good attempt :)

    I'd like to make a few suggestions before I tell you what I like: First of all I wouldn't capitalize the letter of every new beginning verse, I used to do that to, but learnt that it's slightly distracting. Also I'd recommend you to add some punctuation because that might help the flow better and the understanding too.

    I think that the message of this poem is really powerful. I think a tattoo can be like a poem, just that the tattoo is an image while a poem contains words, but captivate a memory or something we'd like to remember and nobody will understand it's very original meaning but ourself, as we picked or wrote it.

    I also like how you're directly speaking to a person at the end of your poem, it makes it more personal and it emphasizes how sincere you are.
