There's all this pressure
Pressure to be perfect
The perfect child
The perfect girl
The perfect daughter
The perfect student
I'm not perfect
There's pressure I put on myself
That I know is true
But there's no other pressure?
None at all?
No pressure by society?
No pressure by adults?
No pressures by kids?
There is
I know it's there
I can feel it
Feel it so tangibly
It's always there
Sometimes it's ok
Sometimes it's not
Sometimes I break
Sometimes I do
I step back
Remind myself I'm me
Remind myself of now amazing I am
Remind myself it's ok not to be perfect
Perfect is overrated
Perfect is overdone
I don't need to be perfect
I don't need that to be my standard
No need to create a new version of my myself
No need for all that extra stress
I know that now
Took so long to realize it
I know I can talk to people about my problems
Some people do care
I know I can't keep it bottled in
I can't do that to myself
I'm not a bottle
I don't need to keep it in
So maybe I'm my own pressure point

Also most of the people who read this got the link from my Twitter but if you didn't know I posted the first chapter for my first fan fiction. It's called "Our Little Secret (Troyler Au). I'm writing those chapters and these poems to.
K I feel like if I write more I'm going to ramble.
