Perfection
Hush.
Hold your breath.
The world is waiting.
Every moment counts.
Every decision matters;
Changes the course of a lifetime.
Watch the seconds tick by.
Break out into a sweat.
Why is this so hard?
Over thinking.
Worrying.
Stressing.
Running on pure adrenaline,
Not a second to rest.
Always testing,
Striving to be better,
Racing against the clock.
Every moment passes;
A piece is broken,
Gather them up as we run.
Crying.
Screaming.
Falling apart.
Where is the reason?
The reason is madness;
Breaching barriers,
Leaking poison into the soul.
Faster.
Better.
Where is perfection?
Reaching,
But never close enough.
