Do we
Can we
Drop our past
Let it drop
Like a cloak
Silkenly
Silently
To the ground
Shed our skin
To be reborn
cracking out
Of our dry and dusty
Layers
Do we
Can we
Become new
By ridding ourselves
Of old.

Your use of metaphor is powerful. I think many people wish the past could be shed like a piece of clothing.
