Imperfectionist


 

I am a perfectionist

Unfortunately I can’t say

I love my imperfections

My flaws are my downfall

I can’t tell you

I love myself

I see

When in the mirror

A shame

It is never

A day when I’m fine

There is always

Something wrong

I don’t know why it has to be

Me

I can’t control

My feelings

Always invalidated

Never

Amazing

That’s when I realize I’m

A failure

I won’t be

Acceptable

I could be

Normal

But I am not

Wishing life conformity

Tired of

Saying

I’m an imperfectionist

I am an army brat. Just your (slightly abnormal) girl. I am a dancer. I love to draw. I have interest in all art but mostly japanese anime. I love to read (can complete a book a day like harry potter size). I live for writing...poetry of course. My poems are just my thoughts.
