Flaws brought to light

I am a living, breathing antithesis-stress theory
Give me
innate despair
Give me
environmental distress
Watch me
break apart
I rip in two
and rip into two more
Exponential misery
SOB with me

Painful imagery.
A quick search brought me to, “The antithesis position is often in avoidance of the advantages of the former status quo and focuses on the newly evolved truths that are being excluded in the original system.” Is this what you reference?
