I’ve looked at this reminder 20 times now.
I’m not entirely sure how
Looking a 21st is meant to help me.
It’s just something I do habitually.
To soothe my mind that wants things done,
Always fighting battles before they’re won.

I never really seem to be satisfied.
Hopefully one day I’ll realize “it’s just a ride.”
And understand that I’m already prepared.
I hold myself to standards you wouldn’t dare
To hold me to.
I’m my own worst critic, through and through.
