Painting of my Past

 The first layer of paint goes down; the good, the bad, the ugly. There are some parts of the painting that amaze you, that you intend to keep that way..and there are others that you wish to get rid of. but you cant. So you pick up your paintbrush and begin to paint over the ugly. You paint and paint and paint and finally it looks decent, normal. People admire your work, how far youve come. But aside from the amount of admiration it receives, you see straight through. Straight through to all your mistakes. Because you know, if every layer of paint was to be chipped down to the very first layer, you cant get rid of it. Cant erase the mistakes of your past.
