I have a tattoo on my forehead 
It’s been there for a while 
It’s ornate and very showy 
It has a certain style 
I don’t know when I got it
But it’s been visible far too long 
I wish I could ignore it
‘Cause everything seems wrong 
At times I feel emboldened 
To grow beyond desire
To overcome my legacy 
With goals that will inspire 
The passion coarsest through my veins 
I feel that I might fly
To soar beyond my wildest hopes
To dreams so rarity
But then I see the image 
Of my reality tattoo 
And I become deflated 
To face what’s really true
