Every mark less
from perfect 100%
predestined bashing.
Sacrificing friends and boisterousness,
for parents he earned~

thank you for sharing,

This is almost like two haiku or some other short verse form, so beautifully concise, and yet they convey so powerfully a feeling of being trapped, or "bound" more tightly even than with rope, with the love of his parents. You have such an eye and ear for capturing these special moments. Good luck in the contest.
