Did she cheat?

With a trembled voice and gloom in her eyes

She entered the room pale and blank

A look at the paper and her heart sank

Blood rushing through her veins

Sweat pooling through her manes

The paper was black and white

The numbers, mocking at her plight

Hands clenched tightly on a torn piece of paper

It was her lifeline

One look at it, she will be fine

If she excels their dreams will fly

If she cheats her’s will die....

Results are out today, she has passed but her home wears an abandoned gaze,

She has passed, passed on

To a better world devoid of them and their expectations
