Perfectionsim

 A smudge on the paper means starting again

The smallest of errors meas a failure to my name

A minor lapse in judgment means overthinking for days

A waver in the image I strive to show means others will see me in dismay.


Perfectionism is so much more than A*'s in tests

It is a cruel, constant voice of criticism 

And fear of discontent.

It is panic and control and trying to hold up the image of coping 

When underneath I am exhausted, lacking, I am falling.
