Layers

We've gotten used to covering the truth.
Layer upon layer of distraction, of the unnecessary just so we don't dig deeper and discover the shining light inside.
We don't care to even clean up or shape up the old layers, just add another when that one fails.
They are all bound to fail.
Because they have no purpose.
The only purpose being to hide who we truly are.
Why are we so afraid of our own strength, of our own abilities?
Why do we try so hard to cover the bright light that we are?
Each time we put a new skin, a new face, a new act we dim that blazing fire even more.
For what purpose?
Shed the skins and break through the layers, tumble the structures we have build to cover the original face.
Break free from the prison of our own ideas.
The prison we have built for ourselves.
For each new layer we add takes us further away from the bliss of our purpose, or our joy.
Shed them, drop them, remember who we are.
