This is my pencil tattoo done just tonight, the sixth of February, for my eighteenth birthday. I’ve wanted it for almost a decade. As a writer, pencils have always meant a lot to me, and this also covers up some scars that — although not as visible as my others — have always kind of taunted me for years. So I’m covering an old story with a new one.
And, well, now I always have a pencil for class. :)

Forever Is Composed of Nows
It’s the title of my favorite poem by Emily Dickinson and the last song I performed at Carnegie Hall in 2007. This is my first and only tattoo. And they are words I live by. Very proud and happy with it :)
I got it at Future Tattoo & Piercings in Fullerton CA

It’s late. He’s sleeping in the other room.
I am thinking of you.
How you have ruined me.
How I no longer want his touch.
How I long for yours. Your lips that tell me stories. Words he doesn’t understand.
Your fingers that trace my skin. A map he now misreads.
I am lost.
I should go to sleep beside him. Instead
I am thinking of you.
