Forest Troll

don't get me wrong
I love my style
love being me nowadays
grey hair funky clothing and all
but you have run your own gauntlet
and you have been brave
knowing the type of ladies
that you fancy and look at
boy oh boy what on earth  
must you think of me
you probably think I am a
troll who escaped from the forest
wild and free but with it
comes the nose picking  
burping and scratching
the little temper tantrums
and tousled uncombed hair
you know I wear pants instead of dresses
except for the long hippie style ones
abhor high heels and love my little
troll shoes the ones I wear around the house
I do like jewelry thank god and sometimes
resemble a Christmas tree and I also love
make-up which I use sparingly or liberally
whichever mood I'm in
sometimes I don't take my time with it
and it looks like a child who played dress up
indeed I do feel like a child sometimes
like a two year old girl
whose hands are forever sticky
whose nose is always running
whose face is smeared with chocolate
and who is always dropping or spilling things
and wearing her latest meal on her
clothing while forgetting to brush her  
tangled hair
I try to hide the little girl
but I know you have seen her
and I think you are brave indeed
if you still love me despite
the fact that I will never look and act
like all those girls you fancy
and don't really want to either  
because I want to be who I really am
around you and want you to love me for who
who I really am     :)   <3
