Underestimated
the monster inside 
deconstructing data
reforming standards
non-standard calibrations
turning below above inside

When Underestimated

I wonder if a difference
between a mature
health care bodhisattva
and a less experienced
potential peace messiah

Could be uncovered by noticing
a wisely curious genius
gathering all sacred passionate values

While sadly believing 
s/he can access only the wrong
insufficient
benighted 
disappointing
unwoke audience

And/or these personal cherished gifts,
enlightened powers,
have ripened at the wrong cultural time
for acceptance
in a deeply wounded
weaponed climate
of narcissistic
anthrosupremacist discontent;

A depressing
wounding 
isolating

Underestimated

For so long, 
I was a different person. 
I didn't show who I am. 
I tried patience,
but there are moments when waiting won't work.
And so, I opened my voice
and set my muse free. 
I stepped out of my cocoon. 
It shook them, each and every one of them. 
And though they fought, again and harder,
I

Underestimated

No hell no fail 
Can't tell ?!?
Criss crossed hands nailed railroad
Nervous nails chewed low 
Crisscrossed knees with broken elbows
Smile on the face 
hanging from the spikes like velcro
Head held up high
just a guy, who wants to make it
Ideas! 
creation!
 in relation to my nation
26 year Puerto Rican witty,
Full port o' patience 
Looking deaf and dumb

Underestimated 


Oh my love 
Deeper than seas,
You have underestimated,
My dreams so subtle
You have denied,
Crushed my desires,
Soul badly bruised,

Oh my love 
Clearer than sky,
You have underestimated,
My yearnings so pure
You have ignored,
Subdued my emotions,
Soul lies shattered,

Oh my love
Softer than breeze,
You have underestimated,
My heart beats for you
You can't hear,
Disavowed my feelings,
Soul traumatised,

Oh my love 
Soother than moon,
You have

A Poem by Debbie_Philly 
" I wrote this all the way back in 2009 when i was still getting my footing...  "
Underestimated 
 
The wind blows
My mind is frozen
Blocked, deadbolt
        Locked
Like a collection
In collapsed verbiage
Feeble attempts suppress
      Obstructed
A need for intellectual
Intercourse frenzied

Love Underestimated

I love you, you love me
And that’s what it means to
Be free .

She loves him, he loves
Another him and that’s what
It means to be too good looking.

He loves her but isn’t sure
If she loves him back and this
Is what it means to be sitting
On a toilet seat.

He breaks up and then gets back
She cheats again

Underestimated

What a poor, poor baby
in such a sad circumstance
the stress will surely get to her eventually.
(don't need to hold your breath, it already has)
but I won't break down in front of you,
its not what she would've wanted.
I'll only cry in front of who I want to.
Don't worry, your resources won't be anywhere near exhausted.

Underestimate me.
Won't
