I’m the patron saint and the heir of perfectionism
One mistake and I collapse
Sorrow drowns me with more gallons than an ocean
I can’t lie about my anxiety
Everything needed to stand on a solid rock
While I mistaken that for well-packed sand
I wish I was perfect
No one would criticize me
I wouldn’t need to forgive myself even when others forgive me
Because that would be unnecessary
I hate that I make mistakes
To err is human.

Perfectionism really is a horrible trap a lot of us fall into. It can be incredibly hard just to accept that as humans we’ll all eventually make mistakes

Very much so. I also feel like I’m treated like the bad but whenever I do make a mistake when no one else gets that treatment more often than not.

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.
I was reading a recent article. It made mention, When it comes to forgiveness, even good friends sometimes struggle. At times, people break off long-standing friendships because they find it too hard to extend forgiveness. Jehovah God is not like that.
In fact, the Bible invites all sincere ones to ask for his forgiveness “ for he will forgive in a large way – Isaiah 55:6,7

No problem. Thanks for checking out my poem.
I wrote it when I was depressed that day. Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things to do.
