The Vessel | Ashleigh Word

You look so put together now, your business suit and tie the “Clark Kent” disguise to hide your Superman. Though your secret involves a double life, it has nothing to do with the power to see through walls. Instead, you dress like that to keep people from seeing through you -to keep them away from your shady past.
You were once a wild child. The type parents like to disown because they are an embarrassment to the family. You did every possible drug you could find, and were a simultaneous alcoholic. College was the best time of your life because you could do what you wanted without your ultra-conservative parents breathing down your neck.
You went to every Woodstock every year possible – if you weren’t too high to make it there on your Harley.
So what happened? Why the suit and tie and lunch meeting where you are trying too hard? You used to care less what people thought, but now all you want is to be accepted.
I hate to burst your bubble. I can see through your façade. You want to be accepted and have your past forgotten, but that’s kind of hard when you still have your Harley hidden in the garage.
