PERFECT LIFE

Nor Alim

But behind closed doors, her reality was extreme

Her parents, they hurt her, with words and with deeds

Leaving her battered, with bruises and bleeds

She tried to hide it, to keep up the charade

But the pain and the hurt, they just wouldn't fade

She was trapped in this nightmare, with no way to escape

But still, she pretended, her life was great

She worked hard in school, to please her folks

But no matter how hard she tried, it was no joke

Leaving her feeling worthless and stressed

She longed for freedom, for a chance to be free

But until then, she'll put on a brave face

Hoping someday, she'll find her own place

For behind it, there may be a life that's flawed

Remember to always show kindness and care

For you never know what someone else may bear.
