PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have such high expectations

Of myself and of others

That is why, my whole life,

I have continually been let down.



It’s just that I place high standards

On everyone I know because

I want them to achieve perfection

Though my reasons are mostly selfish.



I should learn to let come what may

And not be so obsessed with

Wanting everything to be just so

And I’d live a fuller, happier life.
