Underestimate Me

Underestimate me
It’s okay
Go ahead
make my day
You never bothered to
Look within
The outer me didn’t fit in
I was too goofy to be
Bright or so you thought
I was too clumsy to
Have any grace
Too trailer trash
To have any class lol
My car is old
My clothes
Second hand
No money in the bank
No wedding band
Outer appearances are all you saw
Not the glint in my eyes
That belied my heart
Please now from me
Take your shallow soul
And depart

Dawn, some people only see the clothes and hair and the blah , blah, blah, they look at me the same way they do at you and other people.Well , if only appearances matter they should carry mirrors with them.

Greetings to the Mile High City and 'you' Dawn, from one who once lived there!! (Aurora actually - near Cherry Creek Reservoir). As well Parker, Franktown, Castle Rock and Colo. Sprgs. I thought Colorado was Heaven on earth .... until .... I discovered S.W. Oregon!!

Really good message in this poem Dawn.... and admittedly (Shamefully so)... I'm guilty as being one that puts a tremendous amount of importance on 'outward' appearance before ever considering liking the person or dating the person. I'm so shallow, upon me... a paper boat couldn't float!!!
Maybe THAT'S why I'm still single?? And all this time I thought it was due to being of the homely sort myself!!

Thanks for the poem Dawn!! Maybe "I" should start carrying a mirror around! Great comment there!!
