Disclaimer: Yes, this is about the tattoo that I recently got. I do anticipate criticism for what it is and where it is, but it does not bother me. The fact that I am comfortable with myself enough to publicly show my self growth and awareness fills me with pride. It's more than I can say for the people that I have encountered in my life. To those that feel the same way that I do; this poem is a way of showing that you're not alone, and you can get through anything. This is for all of you.
Love.
That which makes life worth living.
For which you are eternally grateful.
Consumes and encourages those to suspend-
Time. When experiencing this simple emotion.
Love.
When you believe that it is over,
And your breath strains your old soul.
This will suck you back in, and now you gently-
Awaken. A sense of purpose and self worth.
Love.
You know you have so much to give,
And yet so much more to receive.
Do not close the door on sweet dreams that might have-
Been. Halt transgressions; anticipate future.
Love.
That which is here all around you
That which comforts you in solitude.
It is cheering you on, and reminding you-
That. It is waiting to be discovered again.
Love.

So beautiful.
I hope that one day I can learn to love again. It's just so hard to place that much trust in people. Reminds me of a quote, "Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, all while trusting them not to." I've gotta get that trust back. Maybe one day.
Again, a wonderful piece. (Both the tattoo and the writing.)
