Layers

Your past will never escape you
Nor can you ever escape your past

It's a part of who you are.
It's inside you.

Covered by layers of a more acceptable you
A more informed you
A newer version of you

But in the end its your past that has made you

Peel back my layers and discover
The me I want no one to see
The me I never wanted to be

You remind me
Of me.

Of who I used to be.
A buried dream,
A nightmare
Burning to be free
