Layers

By Deep Poetry

Layers speaks to not only finding yourself but, being comfortable enough to accept who you are and where it is your going and are you brave enough to show up for the journey. We never really notice how much we alter things about ourselves to accommodate others around us forgetting to put us first. Deep Poetry has done the very thing we haven’t. To notice. Notice that you are everything.

Preface

Normally, I’d start this book off by giving an overview of the feelings and emotions that were felt during the process of creating this book. What past or current events inspired the concept and did all the pieces organically flow together to form a trickling lingering state into questions. I genuinely am without words. I’m proud of myself for being brave, strong and mature enough to grasp this position and platform and cease the moment by taking advantage of this opportunity to maybe inspire and motivate others to embrace their truth. None of my books have been 100% about or for me. It’s always been for those who have become silenced by past experiences. Silenced by fear of making another bad decision. Silenced by memories of things that never even happened. It’s been really hard trying to figure if this book Layers, was a good decision. Is it the right time? Am I ready and emotionally equipped to handle the backlash, the questions and confusion of the readers? Is anyone ever ready? I’ve taken off everything that has been weighing me down. Naked unapologetically. And I have never felt anything like this before.

"Only those who are unafraid to become

naked could ever truly be liberated"

Layers

✓ A sheet, quantity, or thickness of material, typically one of several, covering a surface or body.

✓ Layers are feelings or psychological coatings similar to our personalities. They are the Mask Self, the Lower Self and the Higher Self. Teressa Moore Griffin is founder and CEO of Spirit of Purpose abs her words epitomizes the emotion I wanted this book to exploit.

"The Mask Self is the top, outer personality layer that has conformed to conditioning. Your Mask is constructed by the beliefs and behaviors you’ve adopted to fit in, to be socially appropriate, and to avoid punishment. Your Mask is your public persona, the aspect most familiar to you and others. It’s the dimension of your
