The Lie of Perfection (verse) by unwisedragon

I had a dream,
A simple dream,
Of a world I've never seen.

In this world,
All seem'd like bliss,
But mistake not,
It was but a kiss.

And that taste,
Of what felt like heaven,
Was but part of the loaf,
That I did leaven.

For with every good
There be always evil.

No matter what I did
I could not stop them.
And now I am trapped
In my own perfection...

The Lie of Perfection (verse)

unwisedragon

Don't let yourself,
Be ensnared,
By a single, perfect idea:
It will destroy you.

I wrote this, oh, three years ago now? I repeat it to myself whenever I feel sad because something didn't work out how I hoped it would.

    Perfectionism is indeed a double edged sword. *nods*
    Nicely writ. ^^
