Toxic Perfectionism

Clinging to me relentlessly
It pries into my weaknesses
As though it is a curse that could never be lifted.

I'm letting doubts clutter my mind.
Comparison robbing me of happiness
How did I end up this way?

No matter how hard I try
I feel it's never enough

I'm deprived  of satisfaction

I won't get it right.
It will never amount to anything
Its not good enough
It will never be good enough

I'm held captive
My soul is locked away.

Perfection is slowly killing the dreamer
