I'M That Girl.... Poem by Christina Ramirez

I'm That Girl....with the twitch in her eye and the classic pin curl in her hair.
and the imperfect, sarcastic flair

I'm That Girl....who laughs at you when your back is turned,
and who has been burned more times than a fire eater.

I'm That Girl....who wants to find her modern day Cary Grant,
but would have better luck keeping a plant alive.

I'm That Girl....that's not going to waste time on you,
when you say 'Christina who? '

I'm That Girl....who has loved passionately and has learned from her mistakes
and the next guy who'll come into her life, she won't suddenly slam on her breaks.

I'm That Girl....who's thoughts on being classy consist of downing beer and keeping her Camel lights between her breasts,
but don't get her wrong, she's highly opinionated and protests at the dropp of a dime.

I'm That Girl....who although reaches the shameless height of 6'0' ft. tall,
will show up dressed to the T's and in her 2 in. heels smiling like she was taking her curtain call.

I'm That Girl....who will love you like you've never been loved before,
even when you don't love me and all do is ignore.

I'm That Girl....who will always be there,
when the weather is thick and cloudy to clear and fair.

Because....

I'm That Girl....I hope one day you'll compare to the rest
