Underestimation
A term so used as a description for me
The under dog
And the unexpected
I'm not supposed to be anyone
But to your surprise
I have rose
And shown you the failure I was to be

Let it be learned to you
that those who are told they can't
will show you they can
And throw you down into the sand
Their eyes shining bright
With valor and pleasure
Proving that impossible is not a word
But a reason
For you not to try
