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 is always half empty,
never full.
Always the negative,
this I know.
Too much thinking,
second guessing.
Over and over,
always messing.
No matter how many times,
it's never done.
I'm never satisfied,
so I give up and 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 be a 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,
and 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!

~And all is perfect in the land of make-believe~

Yea thanx MellonCollie--This is how I often feel--I'm a very shy person & it usually takes a lot before I begin to open up to someone--It's hard after getting your feelings crushed so many times--But life goes on & it gets better eventually
