It steals your heart
like a cheating mate,
It makes life fall apart
by falsely sealing your fate.
It slaps you on the face
like a losing hand,
It leaves no trace
for you to find.
“the task is too tough,”
“The music is too loud.”
“You did not perform good enough
to buoy the spirits of the crowd.”
…
Perfectionism makes you whine
and lose all the fun.
The tables have to be turned
so that life lessons can be learned.
Criticism is hard for you to hear
when no one else is near,
You end up inclining to regress
if the center topic is success.
Beat it,
Tear it,
Discard it,
Ignore it.
