Peeling The Layers Back

So so true Damian, I know it's an old cliche, I guess sometimes it's human nature... I've always gone by no matter what a person looks like or they seem sad that person will have a story ❤️

I agree, Pete. Everyone has a story, and we haven't walked in their shoes. So glad you liked the write. Thanks for reading. Appreciate you.

Great truth. We are layers.

Love the Van Halen reference, lol

Thanks so much, Debbie. Yeah, I'm kinda of a big Van Halen fan. Glad you liked it. Appreciate you.

So many layers my friend. I don't even know how many layers I actually have. Great, truthful poem.

Thanks so much, Vision. Glad you liked it. Appreciate you.

So true! In fact, sometimes a lot of pain hides behind the biggest smille. If only people would stop looking at how someone appears to be and ask how they are really doing.

The world be a more beautiful place. Great piece, Damian.

Totally agree with you, Duende. Always enjoy reading your commentary. Appreciate you.

For now, we see through a glass, darkly.

I agree, Shiloh. Thanks for reading and your continued support. Appreciate you.

Dear D,

This makes me think if we ever peel away all the layers? Do we keep some layers in place for self preservation? I can never tell. However, I enjoyed this poem greatly. You so wonderfully express emotion with terrific meter and word placement. Lovely write. H🌷

Thanks so much for reading, H. I would think we would keep some in place, otherwise we'd be to exposed to all the elements. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
