I am old
This was something I was told
Imagine he could be so bold
Hiding behind his screen
Oh yes and I am ugly, too
He told me so, it must be true
I really don’t know what to do
‘Bout this stranger, oh so mean
It took a moment from my face
Embarrassment, there was a trace
I laughed it off, picked up the pace
But where was it, I had been?
It threw me for a loop, I confess
Wondered if I looked a mess
Why must I always second guess
Me, myself and in between
It seems so silly to rehash
He was gone, like a flash
Here one moment, just to bash
Then disappeared, now unseen
Perhaps they threw him into jail
This troll who bothered, then bailed
He thought he won, but what a fail
Thirty days of quarantine
At least I hope that’s what he got
Into the fire, nice and hot
Good wishes for him, I have not
You just don’t diss the Queen 😉
Author’s Note: This actually happened to me during a LIVE on Facebook. People can be so cruel….

I think it’s great how you turned a negative comment from a virtual stranger into a poem ending on such a beautiful note. That’s talent!

It is so easy to hide behind the screen and feel so brave and important at the same time. Pityful is all I can say.

I’m pretty sure he got his hand slapped by FB. Sadly, it won’t stop him from doing it to someone else.

Easy for people to be cruel through an anonymous platform. Sorry you went through this. Not deserved.

One’s age is the age of his/her heart and soul. A man sees those who support him as the most beautiful people and he would see his young beautiful girlfriend the ugliest if she is cheating on him!
P.S., I love your smiling eyes.

This is a great poem, Dorinda. Trolls are just that and their comments should be ignored.

Thanks so much, Robbie! I believe FB picked it up as bullying and removed the comment and him. At least there’s that!

You should never diss the queen. It’s strange how people think they have a right to put a woman down because of age. I’m so much better now than I was at twenty.

It only matters what you think. Someone who pops into your life for a second and says such things is only a test in your self-confidence.
