I got my room painted today; my old walls were scarred, chipped,   worn...memories But the past is in the past, the paint has already  dried. So why can't I forget? Why can I still hear them, the memories echoing through the room like restless spirits. I just have one question, if I peeled back a coat or two, would the scars beam with pride? And would the walls still bear the scars proudly? I guess a new coat will be good.... still underneath the glaze of perfection, the scars are still hiding and the walls are still whispering... Yet I will remember, only me

Trapped Between Layers of Paint
I got my room painted today; my old walls were scarred, chipped,   worn...memories But the past is in the past, the paint has already  dried. So why can't I forget? Why can I still hear them, the memories echoing through the room like restless spirits. I just have one question, if I peeled back a coat or two, would the scars beam with pride? And would the walls still bear the scars proudly? I guess a new coat will be good.... still underneath the glaze of perfection, the scars are still hiding and the walls are still whispering... Yet I will remember, only me
just musing about my freshly painted room..:)
