You HAVE to get rid of it. I'll put it in a few ways to get the idea across. And I don't mean any disrespect or malice. I really want to help and understand the issue.
1. It will never be perfect. Period. Any piece you do, will NEVER feel good enough. Even if it's great. Hurts to hear, but you have to get used to it.
2. You won't grow or learn if you don't make mistakes. You learn from what you messed up on, and you try to work that it next time!
3. You can spend hours and hours "perfecting" a bad piece, and all you'll be doing will be polishing a turd. You have to know when to stop. If it's not working, it's not working.
4. The more work you do, the more you have to look at and you will start to see patterns of what you do wrong AND what you do right. This will help you know what yo improve on, and what to be proud of. Adopt the saying "Finished, not perfect" I got that from Jake Parker. Repeat it when you feel like your piece is failing. I do.
Good luck
