I am different from my friends
As you can see
One can draw a sketch so brilliantly
But she hides it in the shadows
Hidden so no one can see
The other can run a mile
With a smile
Athletic indeed
Yet modest when it comes to winning
No prize needed
I myself
Am just a person
With two great friends
Who really do understand
Why I do things
The way I do
I am still different from my friends
But we go together
Perfectly
