I didn’t do it perfectly
I made mistakes here, there, and there
They glare at me
These tiny pinpoints of fragility
You see, I did prepare
I wanted
To stand atop the mountain of accomplishment
Triumphant
Having done the very best that I could do
But I failed to meet my standard
And now I’m feeling blue
Can I not just revel in the beauty of that moment
And the points at which I did succeed
Must my little slips destroy the whole experience
I point them out to you, but why
To call for your agreement
To fish for reassurance that my offering was worth your precious time
This is ridiculous
Dwelling on one’s disappointment
Amplifying silly flaws
Imperfection is no crime
It’s a malady common to us all
Or is it a malady at all
Nothing, no one’s perfect
Right?
