Band aids off

I feel a sense of relief being away. like healing a wound that's been put on hold with band aids just layers of messy band aids. you could see the blood seeping out the sides under each one. A wound that's needed to be dealt with and healed the proper way but was ignored. I feel the pain as I rip each one away and when it gets down to the last one I'm afraid to take it off.. I want to put all the band aids I took off back on. I don't want to see the gore under that last one all the problems I've been hiding from. They lye under that last band aid. I'm afraid but I rip it off a pain shoots through my body but relief sets in right after then pain again. I'm torn between putting back on the band aids. But the release is so pure I can't go back. I'll take care of the wound in a healthy way. It will take some time but that wound will bring beauty and calmness to my soul once healed.

I really enjoyed this because I can relate with this on so many levels.
I am not a fan of the prose form of writing a poetry but each sentence flowed very nicely into the next one. Great poem.
