Perfectionism's fine dancer
I am no more
That is not what I was put on this earth for
I am not here
to ace every test,
to always get 100,
to always be the best.
I am here to experience
Life's ups and downs
To fall flat on my face
To fall hard on the ground
To make mistakes
But still learn
To discover who I really am
For that I truly yearn
Life is not linear
It should not be overthought
Trying to perfect it
Your brain starts to rot
Depression sinks in
Lose yourself in a fog
Lose joy, lose yourself
in a suffocating smog.
Alas I surrender
I shall fight no more
A world with so much to find
So much more to explore.
