Underestimated
Unknown
Underappreciated
Afraid to shout out my glow
Let it radiate into your orbit
Let it calm the churning waters of your halo
Afraid to into the room where it happens
Where eyes will rake my body
Stopping at my shoulders where my incompetence lies as a dead giveaway
Underserved
Unbalanced
Undernourished
Clay-shaped dreams molded from fingers that are too sure of themselves
Dents line my vision of the future
The pestle that smoothes this chaotic progress has tilted on its axis
The warm touch of the sculptor has turned to rigamortis
Underwhelmed
Unhinged
Unknowingly revolutionary
My hand has been left dangling for too long
My knocks at the entrance of access have been ignored
My voice has cracked at my frustration and let my credibility fall
Unnoticed
Underqualified
Unnatural
The footsteps to the temple of capital have echoed away in their retreat
And whispered around to the side door with my conspirators
The hushed laughter and tears have been hiding us from our true potential
As we pretend we don’t exist
As our words have been choked out of us
Replaced w credibility akin to destruction
Unabashed
Unnerved
Under no one
Why wait for the revolution when it’s been waiting for us to take the first step?
