Perfectionism MAG
June 24, 2023
Beneath the weight of expectations, I'm consumed,
Unrelenting pressure, feeling entombed.
Restless nights, my mind's ablaze,
Nurturing perfectionism, an unforgiving maze.
Tangled in the pursuit of flawless display,
Overwhelmed, my soul begins to fray.
Under the burden, I start to lose my way, always
Tormented by standards I cannot outweigh.
