Perfectionism
Staring into the glass
I see a perfect mimicry of my face
Shadows and Lights outline
Tiny Scars in the shape of my heart
Not scars, mistakes
Trapped in the glass outline
My seemingly perfect face
I reach out a hand to a scar
Trapped in the glass SNAP!
Shatters the glass as if I am dreaming I
reach out a hand to the broken dancing edge
of glass and see my life
outlined on the edge
Lingering in perfectionism
The room spins
I am reminded of my ultimate goal
The perfect mimicry of my face
Lies shattered on the floor
I stand
Teardrops inch down and
Drop one by one
Perfectionism:
Cannot be shattered so easily I think
And yet I still
Dance on the edge of gravity
