::: Layers :::

Layers...
I am covered in layers
Layers put on years
and years
first by them
then by me
Layers...

Layers
reinforced with pain
squeezed tight...
They pulled
I tried to push
I admit
I almost gave up
once

Then one day
from under all those
layers
somehow
I took a deep breath
a layer fell away...
and it felt strangely...
good
I wanted to do it
again
It was so hard
but
I did it again...
and another layer fell away...

Now with each layer off
there's a deeper breath
and
discovery
of who I am...
and loving me.
