Poem (untitled)

Stay positive they say,
Everything will be okay,
But after all the lectures,
To my dismay,
It contradicts the words they convey.

One mistake is all it takes,
They treat you like utter disgrace,
Perfection is what they want,
But in this world,
That's something which can never be found.

At times it becomes overwhelming,
And i often react without intending,
I seem to regret this everytime,
If only the lesson would stick in my mind.

Maybe it's selfish i complain all the time,
But i just cant help the thoughts in my mind,
I am thankful for all i have,
My life, my family and a place to call home,
People who surround me with love and care,
But every now and then i feel this fear,
That all they'll ever do is just compare.
