That Girl

Why can’t I be that girl,

strong willed, 

shallow thoughts, 

in a corner

laughing wildly

with a coterie 

of outlandish comrades,

singing 

tepid melodies

and prancing at the promenade? 

Why can’t I be that girl.

A great poem. Im sure we all wish we were somebody else. You have to appreciate who you are and be who you are. Great job!

Because she's a dancing monkey and you're an intellectual observer.

Great word-choices in this one.
