[ i need to be better than that ]
perfection takes over my mind it screams and shouts - it has taken control why am i constantly reprimanded by myself if i always try my best? i guess i'm just not good enough for myself.
the stress beats me up, my mediocrity haunts me screaming the words that replay over + over in my mind,
"you should be better than that"

i really enjoyed that! perfectionism can be good and yet such a curse. a double edged sword. i like how you wrote this and the words. and even the font changes and what not. very well done. and i agree with emochick on the line about mediocrity. wonderful piece. deidre

like i've said before, the reader's interpretation of the poem is what matters, and with this poem, my imagination took it to another level. the basis of this poem is self-conflict, and that's something i can relate to and expand on. this poem triggered many thoughts that it might not have intended (which is always a good thing). nice write.
