Best Perfectionist Poems

The Perfectionist is Listening

the rich are committing suicide
and taking us with them
the prosthetic limbed bastards
Fort Darwin tottering on fewer stilts
once the masters of the universe
presently picking through garbage
looking for an Icarus to pilot
some way back among the clouds
their telepathic goon squads 
armed with the hard...

Ask my parents. They’ll tell you, my favorite phrase, growing up was, “I can do it all by myself.” One day, I sat, spinning the top of my Flintstones vitamin bottle, wondering, how many spins until this thing opens. My mom insisted that she help....

So is there any meaning as this time keeps on slipping,
Is our whole world nothing more than God's little play-thing?
These people around me, are they really worth anything more?
Even when death comes, everything in time simply resets. 

If it's all the same whether I were...

Don’t criticise me from this poem 
You’ll understand once I bring it home
I used to love DIY  I was a fanatic
But it took me a long time and drove my wife spastic

She used to curse and say you not finished yet
You’ll end up leaving...

Let's see. It's someone who
on a successful day,
frets over a second of failure or two.
A pessimist, others may say.

Yesterday will never be like tomorrow so have no regret no sorrow. This is something you cannot see with the naked eye. This is so out of the ordinary nothing close to mundane. Some say it’s genuine and never lacking in truth. This can make...

not having a chance to get their own birth
perfect
(having had no say in the matter), the perfectionist is thrown into the world,
where chaos reigns---
and the primary caregiver who showed up for the
job
(providing one was lucky enough to have someone show),
they do their best to keep...

The prisoner,of his classic cult-

His moral stand sets him apart

I set out to create a rhyme
   but the sounds won't come together
A haiku it was now going to be
   but the words became too many
I decided a sonnet will do fine 
   just then the words disappeared

If I were a perfectionist
As you have so named me
I’d fix all of your bad habits
And your tendency towards stress
And your inability to be carefree
And your unhealthy need to please
And the way I let you down
But I wouldn’t change a thing
Because you’re you
And that’s just...

Being A Perfectionist
(Is One Of My Flaws)
Miracle Man
5/16/2023

At times I’ve been told, just let it go,
but I never do things to just get by.
Though no one else might ever know,
I’m always the one I must satisfy.

It’s said you reap from what you sow,
and not all...

If you strive for perfection
You will never be content
There will always be flaws
Which you will resent
Nothing is perfect
And it will never be
Because the idea of perfection
It differs for you and me....

We all fail in one way or another, and failure
is an essential and painful way to learn...
while searching for that life's treasure;
and if it is never found, rejoice in what you have
by honoring the gifts that were given to us:
to love with an immense desire...

showering in the virgin rain
apparent angles of discrimination
perfectionist is a neurotic
she was dancing shamanically
wild rejoicing in the
birth of a wild 
mushroom
purulent phlegm is a tonic too
supernumerary bands of light
no one is perfect
nothing is perfect
it is disease
she was sleeping now
at the shore of peace
