I get the drift

When I'm feeling so damned emotionally fragile, someone just had to trample on me further.

And when said someone realised she said something wrong, she tried to take it back.

The damage is done. No amount of sweet talking can reverse it.

And as it is, this world is a place only for the fearless who would stand against popular opinion, or for the submissive/conformist who would do anything to win approval.

There's no place for anything in between.
