Perfectionism may look attractive, but it's a poisonous trait,
It's not a personal failure but a social problem we can't defeat.
We strive to be powerful, when what is out of our hands,
Is out of control, we face extreme motivations and strong commands.
To be successful without being toxic in life,
We must open our hearts and minds with acceptance and some strife.
Being humble to not know and being flexible to accept,
Will help us break free from perfectionism and its hard-hitting effect.
