peeling back the layers
can leaving you feeling
open, exposed, raw,
vulnerable.
but you find fresh ideas
just under those layers,
new ways of looking
at the world.
::
this world that
sometimes,
breaks my heart.
::
i’ll just keep peeling
till i get past
the broken bits.

Broken bits often respond well to healing. Raw and exposed is often of extreme discomfort to me too. Though something I’d do again, in retrospect.
