the life of a perfectionist

Views (122) Pain Created on 4-26-08 Flag

I strive for perfection yet fail to succeed

This emptiness inside I am trying to feed

I’m told I’m beautiful but refuse to agree

I feel horribly ugly, no one understands me

One minute I’m on top of the world the next I’m depressed

With relationships, organization, and cleanliness I’m over obsessed

Won’t let anyone know the real me for fear of being unaccepted

I’ve been hurt so many times I’m afraid of being rejected

I get way too attached to the point I can’t let go

Everyone else is better than me I feel so down and low

I rarely talk in school because of social anxiety

My hair is never straight enough, I’ve been sucked into this unreal society

mcihellejane I was drawn to this because of your title-I tend to be a horrible perfectionist most of the time anyways...Just w/ everyday things-writing, work,cleaning, and especially new things. I don't like trying anything new and challenging for fear of failing. It doesn't matter how many stupid things I try and master, that fear is still there. I thought your poem was good-not exactly what I was expecting, but good nonetheless. I get the feeling you are more worried about not fitting in or fitting in than anything. Be you-perfectionist or not. One thing I know is that if we aren't free to be ourselves, we will never find true happiness. Sorry-I'm rambling... Nice job w/ the poem, I really liked your rhymes-they were put together very well!!
