PICKING MY SKIN

I’m a skin picker.
How about you?

I won’t let my skin heal.
The scab itches - so I
pick and itch the scab.

I know this has a technical
term: “Dermatillomania.”
I like "scratchatosis" better.

Do you think this is bad?
You should meet people
who keep picking the skin
of their souls for mistakes
they made 30 or 50 years ago.
