Bare Emotions
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Onion Peels
It's hard to lay a whole lifetime to rest. I have been doing well to exorcise those demons. To the best of my knowledge, I am doing well.
It's been months since I laid Darrell to rest and have never looked back. I have blown the doors clean off the closet and burned each and every bridge back as I went, leaving no chance of return.
I have been letting my barriers go one at a time, one at a time, til now I have hardly anything left. As a result, I have let go all the little self-defense mechanisms I built so long ago. Baring the essence of each raw tendril of emotion to the merciless world to be chewed upon. Like the skin of an onion peel away layer by layer, leaving you with nothing but tears.
