Obsessed with Perfection
I feel empty
Like I lost myself in an attempt to find her
This girl I sought was perfect
Beautiful, Intelligent, Brilliant
But she had no faults
That was the problem.
I focused so much on fixing my faults
I didn't develop my strengths
Because of that I'm not sure what to call my strengths
In an effort to reach her
--To be perfect--
I am left with nothing.
Constant struggling to catch her
But every step I take toward her takes me two steps back
She is unattainable.
Perfection.
Beauty.
But I got lost in her image
I know I can't catch her
But I'm still obsessed
