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.

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++++
