umm i hope this makes sense to you and i hope you likes it...*hugs*

our life is made up of layers
built up one at a time
layers of our past
covered up by layers of our present

the past maybe covered with a new layer
but the layer of the past came before the present
it will always be there just under the surface
always be there under the rest

you cant erase the past,
kill it, or wish it out of existence
it will always be there as another layer
a layer of the past covered up by the new

you cant will away the present
or change what is coming
it will always come just as another layer
a layer of the present that covers up the past

we are trapped in the cycle of the present
circling around the core of the past
the past before the present
the present covering up the past

a layer of the present upon a layer of the past
the past under the present
our life is made up of layers
built up one at a time

Interesting read Tiff
In the future, just try to refrain from using the same word over and over
but all in all, interesting read  
keep sharing

It's a little bit difficult to follow, but that's probably just my blonde mind having a hard time comprehending anything at all, lol...But I really liked the concept here, you did well.

I enjoyed it, but not your best work.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
