They say I'm the teacher's pet:
Always the favorite.
Always the best.
Always the priority.
But I'm just a pet:
a teacher's pet.
Nothing more;
just an amusement.
They say I'm the apple of everyone's eyes:
Always the favorite.
Always the best.
Always the priority.
But I'm just an apple:
the apple of their eyes.
Nothing more;
just a food for thought.
They say I'm the school's best trophy.
Always the favorite.
Always the best.
Always the priority.
But I'm just a trophy:
their best trophy.
Nothing more;
just a prized possession.
