I want to know how I got here steering at the ceiling
If I can try to get up without falling
To carry on with life while dealing with this feeling
Only to try but then end up stalling
Can’t escape this mind of mine
Trapped in what’s inked on my skin
Same old thought all the time
Can’t seem to let it sink in
The massive weight upon my shoulder
Pins me down to pledge
The pressure’s only getting older
Taking me over the edge
Mirrors are my only competition
I’m the one the makes the decision
Opinions of my single reputation
No one else can see the envision
You can go ahead and tell
Whatever you’ve mistaken
Not my problem to dwell
Sorry if your head has shaken
All the thoughts still flowing through my brain
While laying here all but faded
I don’t know if I’m even sane
But I know I’m underestimated
If I can try to get up without falling
To carry on with life while dealing with this feeling
Only to try but then end up stalling
Can’t escape this mind of mine
Trapped in what’s inked on my skin
Same old thought all the time
Can’t seem to let it sink in
The massive weight upon my shoulder
Pins me down to pledge
The pressure’s only getting older
Taking me over the edge
Mirrors are my only competition
I’m the one the makes the decision
Opinions of my single reputation
No one else can see the envision
You can go ahead and tell
Whatever you’ve mistaken
Not my problem to dwell
Sorry if your head has shaken
All the thoughts still flowing through my brain
While laying here all but faded
I don’t know if I’m even sane
But I know I’m underestimated
Written in September 2017, Underestimated came to mind after being totally misunderstood countless times to the point where it got to me, unfortunately, I couldn't seem to be able to voice my feelings about this, so those feelings were transformed into this very poem.
Just like 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Visible', this one's predominately about what I've dealt with throughout my life, that being the judgments from people, being misunderstood and having to explain my intentions in order to be understood. I've realized many times that I'm quite an underestimated person, so that realization turned into this poem.
