I hide under layers,
the ones that are ugly,
and leave some,
for the world to see.
A few that were whims,
Some that I did want,
The pain only comes
when I look at them as slurs,
and scratch at these impressions,
hoping that they blur.
I hope that time,
will fade at least a few,
or that these old ones,
will be covered by some new.
But they left a mark,
those moments with you,
Etched on my skin,
Like a tattoo.

Now all of them mistakes,
that just continue to hauntThe pain only comes
