Perfectionism

I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect When I know it can never come to fruition Perhaps I do it for the self respect Maybe I do it for the recognition Always I try to keep it all correct Always I fail, and let it fall away I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect I wish I wouldn't try to be perfect
