Pressure for perfection
more from me than from them
I don’t know that they would even bother if they knew my own mind is my worst critic
Stopping me in my tracks sometimes before ever even starting something new
Dragging me backwards without a moments notice
Why am I my biggest adversary ?
My mind a war zone
Where am supposed to find tranquility, serenity?
Then I remember your smile
Yours and mine combined
It can calm any reckless wave of anxiety
So greedily, I want to capture those moments
Freeze them forever in time and placidly encompass them in my embrace

Where am supposed to find tranquility, serenity?
Then I remember your smile
Yours and mine combined
It can calm any reckless wave of anxiety
So greedily, I want to capture those moments
Freeze them forever in time and placidly encompass them in my embrace
