POEMS ABOUT PERFECTIONISM & PERFECTION
Ah, perfectionism—that relentless quest for gold stars and flawless performances. It often leaves us tangled in self-doubt, exhausted from the effort, and, worst of all, surrounded by unfinished projects. In this chapter, we take a playful look at the high stakes of perfection and the charming chaos of being human. From dreaming of an ideal life to laughing at our own quirks, these poems remind us that life’s true magic isn’t found in perfection—it’s in the imperfections that make us uniquely whole.
OVERTHINKING Have you ever found yourself lost in an endless loop of thoughts, dissecting every moment, every word, every possibility? Overthinking takes a playful jab at the art of turning molehills into mountains—and then double-checking if the mountains are perfectly symmetrical. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, good enough really is good enough.
