The honor roll, a gilded cage,
A list of names, a pressure to engage.
Her heart races, a nervous beat,
Will she be there, or face defeat?

Each test a battle, a fight for her pride,
To earn a place, where she can reside.
The fear of failure, a constant dread,
To be left behind, a life unled.

But honor lies not in a printed name,
But in the effort, the striving flame.
Her worth is not measured, by a list so small,
She's more than a number, standing tall.
