A simple four words can define your whole future

A simple four words define if you’re useful

You hold back your tears as your read down the page

Would they be ashamed, or would they be delighted?

That their own little kid has grown their own wings

But will they be cut down

And you’re left there to bleed

All that hard work, ultimately useless

It’s all come down to this

What we worked for from the day we were born

It’s the one little paper that decides your worth

You.

Have.

Been.

Accepted...

Never had you thought it’d lead up to this

The tears have spilled out by now

It has been decided, your place in society

What would your family and friends think if they knew of it

Your failure

If...?

You.

Have.

Been.

Denied.
