Perfectionist, by bedazzled
|
I have always strived hard to gain my family's pride,
I set the standard for myself but the bar is too high,
I won't be satisfied with anything less than my best,
Leaving me shattered when I only achieve a test,
My hair is curly which drives me completely crazy,
I scold myself for not doing more when I am feeling lazy,
If while I'm doing artwork my hand happens to slip,
I screw it up and start again because it's not perfect,
I look in the mirror and I really want to scream,
Faced with reality when I want to live a dream,
For yes a perfect life will remain a dream to me,
No matter how hard I try to slip into fantasy,
The worries that plague my mind aren't easily ignored,
It's hard being a pefectionist when your life is so flawed. |

| And so WAS the story of my life.Until I realized. As long as I can live with myself it. Well, thats all that matters. Hard place to get to in life but well worth the wait. |
