Perfection

Notes:

As AO3 says brevity is the soul of wit but obviously if you've read my poems you know that we don't do that here

Work Text:

Perfectionism is key
It terrorizes me in my sleep
Waking to a reality
Where nothing is in my keep

I roll
Roll, roll and weep
In a deep agonizing sweep
With the sweet silence, in a creep

Tired; tire, tire and bore
People with sob stories for sure
You cure them with words
Lying; immature

In a world, remedy such as these
Empathy is an enemy
Enemy to trust and fuss
To all things knowing of society

And in that way; you’re better
Better than the few that obsess
Better than the most that test
Then we lest; that you figure out the rest

And so; prior to yours
To tire oneself out of unnecessary wars
In a library of lies to score
Which one did you fall for
