Layers…

An unknown, unfamiliar and innocent boy lay beneath the rest. Traumatized and afraid by a bad childhood past, only he knows this young man exists.

Buried deep beneath the layers of jealousy, hatred, anger and insecurities self defense. Never could he be vulnerable and feel comfortable to uncover himself. 

With time the fearful boy realized he couldn’t keep running scared. He was hurting and exhausted from continuing to lose love. He had even grown to hate himself.

Eventually he committed to uncovering the truth. Layer by layer he worked hard and he removed each layer serving an undesirable purpose, each one.

With each battle, he became more aware of who he now was. With each victory, he became more confident and more comfortable with himself.

The man he had become, by the time he made it to layer one… Looked that scared boy in the tearful eyes with open arms and said “ it’s okay “ giving him a hug.

Together they cried in each-others arms, together they understood each-others life. Together that day, the two of them became one.
