"... ripping the plaster off the wound...

... you ripped the wound bigger..."

This metaphor is just wrong. A quick and fast pain which leaves you with a bigger scar.

Then you realized, why didn't you just leave it in the first place? With or without it, that scar ain't going away.

I am constantly being reminded of how a failure I can be. The more I tend to it, the more I see myself going back to where it began but worst.

Now all I need is just a bigger plaster.

Shouldn't I be immuned by now?
