Tattoo Haikus

I got a tattoo.

Not as whitebread as you thought?

Don't tell Mom and Dad.

It's Chinese for strength.

I found the picture online.

Could mean shrimp fried rice.

Look like Marky Mark.

In Hanes cotton underwear.

Need to do situps.

It's been a rough year.

With loss, change, and upheaval.

Not my cup of tea.

Fear, my achilles.

But the ink, a reminder.

Strength defines me now.
