Get That Over Dog

We cheer the underdog because he is us and we are he We want him to win because he is us and we are he We want him to prevail because he is us and we are he Called names, belittled, put down, tossed down. Yes. Yes. Yes.Yes.Yes. I never knew they say But why would they? They were too busy lying in ditches Where they were also tossed. Not realizing how many were. Life can be cruel; a circus of meanness. And it is – especially when you meet the unkind They are everywhere, but especially in grade schools. By the time you realize it is them, not you, it may be too late You may already be passing mirrors Using their reflections of you to judge yourself I am ugly. I am a loser. I am stupid. I am different. Ah, let’s start from there. You are different. You are unique. You are one-of-a-kind. You are an overdog, you are a winner. You are a believer. You are honest, kind, fair, and you are cheering for underdogs. You have never been one and you never will be. Got that OverDog? Got that?
