{Title: Am I really a Teacher's Pet?}
My eyes are filled with pride,
even as my class disgusts me.
To the teacher, I never lied.
But she is not all I can see.
My work is all A+,
my standing stays on top.
I'm seen as an adult's fuss,
never being a slop.
The teacher alone can't just be,
the only one that means something to me...
My shelves are filled with books,
something my class always hate about.
I don't mind my looks,
as long as the teacher don't shout.
As the bell rings,
I walk alone.
No matter how much my heart sings,
It never truly gets to be shown.
The teacher alone can't just be,
the only one that means something to me...
