Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

The walls are closing in
The demons are gonna win
Expected to be perfect and smart
I guess that plan fell apart
Never gonna be your perfect daughter
My life just keeps getting shorter
I can feel the hate
I hope you know its too late
You now have your perfect child
While this one cant even run wild
Trapped like in jail
Your fake love is getting stale
Maybe you should've tried
Before I died inside...
