it just wont go away

its like that annoying brown stuff.
like when dust particles or something sticks to your skin, slowly builds up, and forms this surface above your skin.
and then you notice it. & you want it to go away. you try rubbing it. it stays. you try rubbing harder. the skin around it turns red. but it stays. you try using your nails to scrape it off. but the darn stubborn thing, stays.
and then your parents ask you, "what's wrong?", but you cant tell them. cos they'll just worry too much. and they'll assume its cancer or something, and bring you to the doctor, and then everything just gets even more complicated.
& your friends try to give you advice. they tell you different ways to get rid of it, they give you ointments to apply on it. and u try everything they tell you, but nothing works. the stupid thing, just, stays.
you get fed up, and you try not to look at it. and then magically, you start to forget about it... and its like life's back to normal again. and you're back to being your good old happy, carefree, brown-stuff-less self.

then one day, you dare yourself to take a peek. and guess what, the brown thing is STILL there. surprise surprise. still sitting stubbornly on your skin, smiling up at you with that evil grin. and o..m..g..here it goes again.............
only this time, you scratch even harder. and put yourself in even more pain. but you continue to scratch. scratch,scratch,scratch. and the wound just gets deeper and deeper.

and this time you really pray that it'll go away forever. and leave you alone.

so that you can have your life back.
