They say she's perfect They call her an angel Intelligent. Brilliant. Beautiful. Talented Obedient and caring Confident and daring Bright future ahead But is it really For you see she isn't all pure Nor perfect at all For deep down lies a secret Buried so deep That it is forbidden to ever come out But slowly it claws its way up Her true self begging to be able to breathe To be free from the shackles From the cage Of reality versus illusion She hides behind this perfect smile But deep down She's screaming for mercy She's caged All her insecurities Her pain Her worst fears Of Reality All caged deep within For she did what she had to to survive Even if it meant selling ones priceless being Her soul now trapped in the chambers of the lost They say she's perfect
