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.
