// **By Shantal Jayawickreme** //  ||  //Click Speaker to Listen to the Audio Version// || I'm like Michelle Quan in disguise. I need so many ways to express them, right know I cannot hide. There's a girl named her who amazes me, Like a crippled hummingbird that simmers over a Christmas tree. She's a beauty, a dancer, and has never gotten less than a B. What is her secret? I must know, I must. I feel like a hungry, greedy wall, going munch, munch, munch. Because compared to her, I'm just a piece of dust. There's a girl named her who lives down the street, She's a diamond, a rose, an elegant tree. She's got the capability of a wizard that everyone wants to see; With the looks of an angel, the voice of a bird, And a smooth hand with the feel of fur. She's got that brown, silk hair that would always spur, She'll never fool me, from what I've heard. There's a girl named her whom I see every waking day. At the classy whiteboard, at the dance studio, on the way, With a giraffe's legs that glide as high as the sky. She's a ballerina at heart, and a dancer at soul And compared to her I'm just the scratches on a pole. There's a girl named her who has English with me With the brains of Einstein or Madame Curie. She gets A's and B's; never gotten a C. She's got a report card that's hard to beat. There's a genius in that mind, an unknown key, To an unknown place where all thoughts are free. There's a girl named her who makes me smile. Everyday, she makes me stop and think a while, With a voice, touch and mind... How I'm not like, her; how I'm totally different. Just because... I'm me; me, myself and I. || || Picture Citation: Unknown, "The Australian Ballet." __The Australian Ballet__. 2008. Lynch2. 1 Oct 2008 .
