She stood there looking bored
The first thing I noticed about her
Was the butterfly tattoo on her wrist
Right below her scars
She looked so consumed by pain
And yet so radiant with life
I wanted to reach out
But didn’t know how
I wish I could tell her she was not alone
That I too had been there
I wish I could show her my scars
And let her know that they are not just healed wounds
But trophies of survival
“The Girl With The Butterfly Tattoo” is a poem I recently came up with. The title is of course inspired by the famous book (and later movie), Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. This poem was inspired by real life events. And the girl with the butterfly tattoo is based on a girl I met recently. I could feel her pain, a pain I too had felt. A pain that led me to having the same scars as she did.
