Perfectionism
And so I thought
once I felt seen
got praised, got a raise
it would go away
once I de-stressed
got time off from my job
it would drift away
once I reached my goal
got rated “exceptional”
it would surely leave
once I felt proud
of all that I’ve achieved
it would bring reprieve
And so I thought

I've always thought it is a design fault of Nature that you can't think of nothing. It would be so destressing.
