I scratched my arm on a CD case at work yesterday just before I left for the doctor... it bled a little...

Today it's infected. Pusing little bubbles of green and yellow now and then... inflammed... red and moist like it will NEVER dry...

I should have taken a moment and doused it with antibiotic cream before I left yesterday.... but I was rushed...

I am the papercut queen and I KNOW never to let my cuts go untreated... But I had a lapse.

It burns... and it reminds me, if anything... of my fragile existence...

I am made of bond.....
