I hate perfection I hate its debilitating clutch As its voice criticizes and demands in my head Its hands crushing my soul Mercilessly And I’m sick of it pushing past Cleverly wriggling its way into everything I ever do Anything I ever create Because its not good enough ‘Your not good enough’ It speaks Driving needles into my heart Poisoning me with its venom Possessing me Manipulating me Until my voice succumbs to perfections wrath Giving in Giving up Because why bother trying If your not good enough?

perfection's wrath
I hate perfection I hate its debilitating clutch As its voice criticizes and demands in my head Its hands crushing my soul Mercilessly And I’m sick of it pushing past Cleverly wriggling its way into everything I ever do Anything I ever create Because its not good enough ‘Your not good enough’ It speaks Driving needles into my heart Poisoning me with its venom Possessing me Manipulating me Until my voice succumbs to perfections wrath Giving in Giving up Because why bother trying If your not good enough?
