Your perfect?

The Perfect Daughter
the perfect daughter was called
she folds her napkin perfectly balled
and when the forbidden figure appears
she hides it behind the blood that smears

the perfect daughter will wear her heart on her sleeves
her shirt-buttoned up as they perfectly hide her cleaves
and when she is called around casually on the street
she will stoop as low as to look down to her feet

the perfect daughter cares for her family
she complies with orders to make him look perfectly manly
and when those hands do touch her exquisite cheeks
she wipes away her tears with gentle squeaks

the perfect daughter will never let me down
her utmost remorse is in my perfectly conceited frown
and when she is asked about who she loves the most
she won't know to mention her name but of me will she boast

but oh! the perfect daughter does not exist
she appears in my dream to check off the list
and when she was asked about how far she is from the world
she only looked up at the sky and towards the wind, she unfurled.
