Never Underestimate Me! Poem by Melissa Patty

This is me
Who I grew up to be
Never judge me with a look
As I am an open book
You may not like me, you may give me a weird stare
But to be honest I am who I am I don't care
I look to the future and try not to think about the past
I'm not going to change for anyone even if I'm last
NEVER underestimate me, take it or leave what's behind
Just treat me with respect and then you'll find
Don't judge on my appearance or anything to do with me
Leave it alone and let it be
NEVER underestimate me, this is me who I am today
As this is what has made me different and I'm proud who I am I'm going my own way.
