We're Not So Different, You and I

We’re not so different
You and I
Although you are a skilled sprinter
I’m a talented tripper
We both wear sleeveless shirts
Yet yours is better
Because you have muscles
And my arms are noodles
My friends and I do dances in class
You and your friends unwittingly are ballerinas
As you spin around to unleash a ball
We applaud your 10,000 pull-ups
You clap for my one
We may not seem like the
Same
But we aren’t so
Different
