Parallel Reflections

They squeezed her through the mold
Be a good girl and do as you’re told
And now she feels the urge to scream
Guess perfection’s not all it’s cracked up to be
When all the words are dead
And a smile is just uncertain shield
When you faith is weak and bruised
Hope starts to slowly yield
Effort goes up in flames,
All that’s left is mere shame,
Hate of what I’ve become
Effort goes up in flames,
Lost inside in the blame,
Banned to set myself free
Countless hours of scream and shout
Wondering what it’s all about
Fighting against the conscience’s
Taunt laying low from scorning flaunt
When all the words are dead
And a smile is just uncertain shield
When you faith is weak and bruised
Hope starts to slowly yield
Effort goes up in flames,
All that’s left is mere shame,
Hate of what I’ve become
Effort goes up in flames,
Lost inside in the blame,
Banned to set myself free
Effort goes up in flames,
All that’s left is mere shame,
Hate of what I’ve become
Effort goes up in flames,
Lost inside in the blame,
Banned to set myself free
