Eskimo

Like an Eskimo, I wear many layers I am kept hidden away Safe from discovery or attack Each layer represents insecurity I put on more layers I want to stay hidden Unnoticed My layers act as a security blanket Hiding my true self I protect my body, guilt and shame from being ousted No one can know Hiding keeps me isolated Disconnected I wish I could remove a layer Even just one to start Without the layers I’d be free No longer imprisoned Set free
