A shard of glass

A shard of glass
pierces the skin

No problem,
just a small cut

You clean the wound
and let it heal

But no,
a few days later

The shard of glass returns
cutting deeper, more painful

Already a healing wound,
is opened once again

Here comes the glass
Deeper and deeper it drives

What will you do?
What can you do?

Well, if you leave the shard in,
you will surely die

But don't you know if you pull it out,
You'll bleed to death?

Yup

    I love the philosophical feel this has to it. Your metaphor definitely makes one think. Very well done.
