The fear of Imperfection
Or not being good enough.
The constant urge to
Meet up with all their
Expectations.
It must be difficult.
Can't have bad grades,
Parents would hate it.
You would.
Perfect figure,
Either buff or
Really slim figure.
So everyone loves
The one who can't
Love themself.
I actually have a different version and the long version this is based on, too.
Atelophobia, n. - different version
The constant urge
to meet up
With all their expectations,
The fear of Imperfection
Or not being good enough.
I think it's a pain in the ass,
Because no one is that good.
Now, tell me, how do I
Prove you that you're
Perfect, just as you are,
Love?
Atelophobia, n. - long version
The fear of Imperfection
Or not being good enough.
I imagine it as
a pain in the ass.
"If I am this, what will
they think of me?"
"Once they find out I do
That they'll hate me..."
"I didn't text him
And he didn't text me.
He for sure hates me!"
The constant urge to
Meet up with all
their expectations, and
The thrumming anxiety if
even one thing doesn't.
But honestly, it's quite
Impossible to be perfect.
Besides I don't want someone
Who changes to be
What I want them to be.
I want you for you.
Not for perfection.
I want you for your
Crackhead jokes,
The tiny dances,
The funny snaps and pics
You take and collect of me.
The funny videos.
The way you lighten my day.
I don't want to lose
What we have
Because you think
you aren't good enough.
The big words are my message to everyone with those thoughts, and for the famous people who currently struggle with hate.
