My not-so-lady-like side

I've never been good at being a girly girl.
Bare feet, dirt, and mud have always been more appealing to me than any dress, piece of jewelry, or shopping mall.
Sometimes, I burp like a man.
I've gotten more scars than anyone has ever gotten beauty pageant awards.
My feet have more calluses than there are stars in the sky.
And all though I don't wear the popular cake on my face, or walk gracefully on 6-inch stilts, or stain my lips the shade of love,
I can still present myself with class.
