Flying through the sky
Soaring above it all
Succeeding
When you thought I would fail
You underestimate me
You think I'm only good at being smart
But that's not all I am
I am a person
I have feelings
I fall in love
I get hurt
I have dreams to fulfill
You underestimate me
You think I'm perfect
I don't do anything wrong
But you're wrong
I break the rules
I lie sometimes
I feel ashamed
I long for more
You underestimate me
You think I'm the shy girl in the corner
But I'm so much more than that
I know what I'm capable of
I know what everyone says
I know what you all think of me
You think I'm miss goody two-shoes
You think I'm always right
You think you can make fun of me
And I won't hear you
Or I won't do anything about it
You underestimate me
I'm tired of you laughing at me
Of you making fun of me
I'm tired of having to hide who I am
Because that's not who I've been
It's not who you're used to
But it's me
So get used to it
You underestimate me
Author notes
I hope this is what you're looking for. This is about feeling that no one really knows the true me. They think I'm smart and that's it. But I'm more than that. I hope you enjoy it.

I think that this is a wonderful piece and I also think that until you allow the true you to show, you will not find true happiness in friendships, relationships, etc.... I found this out the hard way. I have now grown to accept who I am and everyone else likes what they think to be the "new me" as well. Great piece, and I love the colors on the page.
