Who am I?

Who am I?

At school, I am the smart kid.

The one who teachers adore.

The lonely one with a few friends that we all know aren't real.

The one who has potentialandagreatfuture.

The quiet one who gets A's on everything.

The one on honor roll.

At home, I am the disappointment.

The one who plays violin and piano, but not the flute, the trumpet, or the guitar. 

The one who gets A's that are never good enough.

The one who should talk more and  shut up when I do.

The one that should make more friends and stop having them when I do.

The one whose potentialandgreatfuture should be better and even better when it is.

The one whose honor roll isn't enough and never will be.

To my "friends" I am the one who does their homework for them while they hang out with their real friends.

I'm their backup plan not plan A, B, C or even D, but Z.

The one they will call if they need a favor, so they can go shopping.

The one, when asked, they will pretend to not know me.

I'm a outcast, a smart kid, and a disappointment at the same time, and yet, I'm none of them.

Who am I?
