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
