Courage
Perfectionism
We never fully satisfy it
Thoughts of self compassion make it cringe
Often it deceives
Faultfinding limits our potential
Cuts off love and belonging in life
So scratch that-be free
There's something much more satisfying
Highly worth our acknowledgement and chase
-Thoroughgoing love.
It calls us by name, proclaims value
Despite the shortcomings, we're treasured
Don't conform-stay true
People hustle for it, though own it
Embrace this truth, for we were set free
Here and now-receive
