I can see right through

Beyond that face of his

He has on a smile

But what really lies beneath is what he hopes no one can see

He puts on that fake smile because of his friends' party

But on the inside anyone can see that he is in disbelief

His friend was accepted into Harvard

Everyone was happy

Except for his face that stood out like a daisy coming up from the sidewalk

The agony and pain

All anyone can see beyond his face

Beyond the truth

Everything that has happened

Comes to this moment

The world freezes

Everything that has happened

Anyone can see in this one moment

He was the one that was supposed to go to Harvard.
