Your wound is rotting
It looks fine on the outside. a little red, maybe tender. but underneath?
Bacteria are feasting.
Dead tissue is decaying.
This is what happens when you slap a band-aid on a deep wound and call it “healing”
you do this with your body.
you do this with your mind.
you do this with your life.
Problems don’t go away because you cover them up
they get worse
infection spreads
until one day, you’re cutting off a limb instead of cleaning a scratch
Stop playing pretend. Clean the wound. Face the pain or let it eat you alive.
