lil vent poem bc actually venting is overrated šŸ˜šŸ˜ /j

it’s never perfection.

when she arrives with the groceries, and im busy, you get angry at me for not helping her.

but when i stop and go to help her, you get angry at me for stopping my ā€˜important’ work.

it’s never perfection.

when i’m busy and don’t stop to eat, you get angry at me for not taking care of myself.

but when i eat more, to you, it’s just me trying to get out of work.

it’s never perfection.

when you get angry at me for not going outside and being stuck inside all day.

but to you, when i go outside, i’m just trying to escape my responsibilities.

it’s never perfection.

when i talk back to you.

but when i don’t speak, i’m ’disrespectful’ for not ā€˜paying attention.’

it’s never perfection.

so why do i yearn for it? because no matter what, it’ll never be.

so i wave to my soul, my personality, as it is crushed by your weight.

i say goodbye.

because it’ll never be perfection.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sure a lot of people can relate, and opening up makes us very vulnerable. However, we can all get through this…
I believe in you :heart::heart::heart:
