Don’t Underestimate Me
By: Cherishable_Baybee

Before when people use to walk pass me
I use to look down to the ground
So lost and confused
Trying to figure out how I was
And how much my life was changed
Since I walked away from my family
I lacked a great deal of confidence
And self-respect
People said I was going to be unsuccessful
Ugly, and lonesome
Doomed to be a doormat for people to step on
But they always underestimated me
Now, they fear me
They fear my beauty, my self-confidence, and my happiness
Now when they walk pass me they look down to the ground
While I look them in eye
With happiness and joy
I did not treat them the way they treated me
I showed them curtsy and hospitality
I did not break into a historical laugh when they pass by
I did not show them disrespect
Although they underestimated my power
I did not return them to favor
Now they learn their lesson
To never underestimate people
Whether people are old or young
Man or Woman
You should never underestimate the power of a human being
Because it funny how karma can bite you right back

This is an amazing poem!

I was wondering if you would consider stanzas? It helps the reader if there are some.

I really liked the first few lines! Thank you so much for sharing.

This part made me smile becuase it is so true. I love this poem so much and the whole "Don't Underestimate Me" thing, because this is how I feel a lot of the time too.
Awesome job!
