Every now and then,

A crisis occurs,

That throws me off course,

And makes me wonder,

I think it's perfection,

That tries to ruin,

What little I strive for,

What progress I've made,

Every day I work on,

I need to remember,

To take progress not perfection,

To just live in the moment,

The constant striving is draining my energy,

But I need to balance what is really important.
