The perfect child
The perfect sibling
The perfect friend
is what I strive to be.

The perfect student
The perfect employee
The perfect intern
is what I want to be.

The perfect
human
is what I tell myself to be.

It's impossible,
but I demand myself to make
the impossible
possible.

To be
The perfect drawer
The perfect writer
The perfect skater
The perfect baker
The most perfect
perfectionist
there ever was.
But I can't be.

That's the
painful reality
I have to face.
