It never occured to me that
the (still) tamed
body modification that I did
is a simple way of proving
myself that I can take pain.
— I’ve always question the act of getting it,
what am I gaining?
I still don’t have the answer.
It contributes a small portion on embellishments,
appearing unique, not quite standing out
but still different.
I’m looking at it now, the tattoos,
the 2 added piercings I got on both of my ears,
I always utter the words: “I’ll stop here”
but I never stop.
