Peeling The Layers

Peeling back the blue sky, 

all is revealed.

Your losses are mine,

even though I had given up 

a long time ago. 

Paying a debt,

paying with my guilt,

paying with my life. 

Working to peel

away the layers,

that keep me from 

my truest self. 

Like a snake,

we will shed our skin, 

and

never, ever,

be the same again.
