Megan Ryan Poet Free verse

Overlooked Potential

Feeling left out in the cold
Tossed aside like bread with mold
Can't they see the hidden gold
A diamond in the rough
Underneath my surface.

Can't you see my potential
Yet your blinded by successes
While one has more experience
I just got the listings
Of the work I've done
Volunteering around.

I maybe a naive, little girl
In this crazy, weird world
Yet I got so much to give
If you just put me to the test
I'll show you what I got.

Though my disability
May hold me back at times
I won't let it limit
The things I can do
Surpass limitation
To make the impossible possible.

I can overcome the barrier
To show you a warrior
With a mighty roar
Who's ready to soar.

Don't judge me
For what I lack
I make up for it
With what I know.

Don't overlook me
I'm a rare opportunity
You might lose the chance
To see what I got
A hardworking girl
With a passionate soul.

Hannington Mumo April 22, 2015 at 10:08 AM This has pushed me to tears. You should be given a chance to prove yourself. And may God help you succeed like everyone else. Your poem is wonderfully written, and if you doubt your other abilities, you should feel good because you already are a poet of global note. God bless! 7++++ Megan Ryan April 22, 2015 at 10:57 AM Awwwww! :3 Thank you Mumo!
