NOT SO PERFECT ME

I am a perfectionist.
You may not see.
But everything I do,
is never good enough to me.
I am a failure,
in this place.
Bittersweet,
is all I taste.
My glass's half empty,
never full.
Always the negative,
this I know.
Too much thinking,
second guessing.
Over & over,
always messing.
No matter how many times,
it's never done.
I'm never satisfied,
so I give up & run.
If it's not spur of the moment,
then thoughts will flow.
I'll hide all my feelings.
I will not go.
Don't want to burden,
don't want others to grin,
because of all that's not perfect,
inside me, within.
So I sit up all night,
rarely sleep.
I question my whole life,
& then I weep.
Do they just pretend to care?
Feel sorry for me?
Am I blind to the truth?
Why can't I see?
Please help me trust!
Please help me be!
Please let me rest!
Please comfort me!

ELMO <3

LOL. The keys to perfect success are the same set as the keys to perfect failure. (It's the doors that are different.) I liked the poem, though perfect it is not, but then I haven't got a clue how to fix it either, or even where its imperfections lie. But I won't stay up all night and fret over it, since I already do that for some of my own perfectly imperfect stuff. I really enjoyed reading your post.
