The Return of the True Trim

They write me off when I'm down 
say it's my place to underachieve 
some say it to the point it's what I believe 
putting belief in me makes a rumbling sound 
fires deep down in me fire up breeding heat 
self doubt annoys me up out of my seat 
as the fury spreads new motive's found 
when my thoughts obsess over the grief 
and suddenly tricks pour from out my sleeve 
surging tech tonic energy gains ambitious growls 
shifting my focus positive with the air I breathe 
and down from the bottom the tension relieves 
thus propelling a catapult force up at the clouds 
and I morph from my written off rock bottom seed 
into a Superman circumnavigating the seas 
killing the silent shy recluse now shouting loud 

I may fall down, but I'm never out
and that means never, I love the doubt,
it's the start of the best I house, 
I love silencing doubting mouths
