The 50%

On your application, it was all
Aspirations of social mobility
For your motivation, it was mostly
Caffeine pills and short fixes

For your family, it was all
Our boy can be exceptional
In your urge to please, it was key
To show you as how others see

Three years wait, now here you are
Smiles ready for capturing
Nerves ready for releasing
Dreams ready for realising

The day, it always seemed so far
And finally, there you are
