A Flawless Scholar


I am a suit and tie man

with tattoos peeking out from under my sleeves,

black ink that flows from my pen

on to every assignment I turn in demonstrates intellectuality,

the ink that punctures my skin tells a story,

a future doctor with tattoos?

a bit absurd in the eyes of the people

no, just another individual,

I am a tattoed scholar.
