‘The poems in this collection are an illustration of the hidden tattoos that have been etched along my skin and into my soul. Although invisible to others, they are a mesh of mental and emotional moments and memories. They are a testament of my survival, and more importantly a reflection of my growth. They are my silent voice…’

Invisible Tattoos is a collection of twelve distinctive poems that depict the beauty and darkness of the human experience through words…

Described as 'Poetic Stories,' each poem uses clever wordplay, thought provoking lyrics and a story-telling style, to explore a range of subject matters such as social inequality, the challenges of contemporary culture, and the timeless topics of love, heartbreak and inner conflict. The art of poetry is used to discuss history, politics, economy, culture and how this is intertwined with our identity. The poems are all accompanied by an individual analysis which explains the inspiration behind each bitter sweet story of human connection, struggle and spirit.

Invisible Tattoos is a book that will take you on an emotive roller coaster of highs and lows. Delving into the darker side of life and examining the complex world of emotions and encounters, this book provides a social commentary of the unheard voices of multi-cultural society, while touching on the subjects that make us all human and unlike anything else on this planet. This unique collection of poems will undoubtedly leave an imprint on your mind... ... more

lyrics

I think I’m finally beginning to understand
That we’re living in a generation flooded with Peter Pan’s
Scandalous little boys that believe they can fly!
Truth is, they only fly when they’re high!
Never ageing; their mentality’s of a child!
Grown men imprisoned in their youth
They choose to be there as it removes them from the truth...
They fear responsibility
Sacrifices they are forced to make result in irrational hostility!
So many grown men fighting to be Peter Pan
Leader of the Lost Boys, but too frightened to be a man!

Playing with life like it were a worthless toy
This cycle continues to their offspring and they create more lost boys!
Confused little girls not understanding what a man should be
Their fathers were Peter Pans so they had nothing to teach!
Defeating urbanized Captain Hooks
They claim they’re “hustlers,” but we call them crooks!

They live in a fantasy in which they never grow up internally!
Peter doesn’t appreciate the things that he should cherish!
His characteristics; nasty and selfish!
Having children then expecting the state to pay!
While he smokes weed and computer he plays!

Peter barely knows his parents...
We’re surrounded by so many lost boys that were never really raised by their parents...
Creating children then transforming them into a commodity!
Enjoying the beauty but ignoring their duty!
Seeking to continuously replicate their childhood memories!
So Peter became confused...
No role models yet living with constant abuse...

But our ghetto Peter Pan’s don’t progress
They remain stationary creating further mess
I guess this is their defence mechanism to stop them from feeling so worthless!
Their childhood was the happiest, that’s when life hurt less!
So Tinker Bell abandons them and the star stuff is finished...
The Peter Pan in a grown man is forcefully diminished!
It’s a shame cause Peter could've been so much more
But he refused to grow up; so his spectacular destiny was ignored...
