Exactly Who You Think I Am

I am exactly who you think I am An old woman who looks in the mirror and is amazed the twelve-year-old-girl is no longer there. I am exactly who you think I am. An older person who might be retired, only I am not. I work every day, and I play with children, and I light up their world In the evening I draw cartoons and I paint them. My entire house is full of black lights; for I am a hippie and my paintings are neon. I am exactly who you think I am. a woman who travels to far away worlds as a pirate queen, a woman warrior, a mystical, magical witch A woman who draws women with purple hair and green faces. A woman who believes in faeries and brownies, and pixie dust. I am exactly who you think I am until you get to know me, which is not easy for I am a listener, not a talker. I am an observer, not a speaker. I am a lover, not a singer, or a dancer. It takes a really good listener to get to know me. If you are that, we might have a chance.
