Chinese Tattoo

Just like the Chinese character tattoo

That's healing on his upper arm

"Strength" doesn't mean what you once thought it to

Don't be alarmed, there's nothing wrong

No one's ever going to treat you right

You're attracting the wrong kind

And you're always left with nothing but anger

And lord knows that it hurts

When coming to terms with

The lessons you're learning

You're trying not to show your eyes

When you're addressing a new "Mr. Right"

This isn't love but it still feels nice

With these immaculate and warm insides

Never once stopping like a shark in its sleep

Moving just to breathe

This is what you call "free?"

Harsh as it seems, maybe "love" means being naïve

The pure and eager part of me

Like pledging some sorority

Is losing its virginity

In some bathroom during "hell week"
