The Weight Of Perfection

In a world where perfection is a desire
Children strive for perfection, to be seen, to be loved and to meet their parent's expectations.
A never-ending cycle

They aim to excel, to be the best
To earn approval, to pass the test
But in this pursuit, they often forget
That they're worth something, they forget their true self

The weight of expectation, a heavy load that's hard to carry
A burden to carry
To walk the fine line, between success and failure

But what of those who stumble and fall?
Are they less worthy, less loved after all?
Their dreams shattered, their hearts broken,
Their spirits crushed

In this world of perfection, they're left behind,
A constant reminder of their flaws
Their tears fall silent, their cries unheard,
Their story ends but never with a happy ending.
