Underestimations...


Sometimes it's good to be underestimated.

Sometimes it's good to let people believe you are blind to their misconceptions or ill intentions. 

After all, the only thing you can do is exceed expectations and show people how wrong they were.

The good thing about holding your tongue when someone messes you about or assumes less of you, is that they presume that you are either unaware of their transgression, or lacking the assertion to deal with it accordingly.

They fall into a false security of confidence and untruths, comforted by their own arrogance.

But you're not as small, or as weak, or as stupid, or as easy as they think you are.

And biding your time does not make you stupid or scared.

It makes you strong, and patient, and wise, and courageous.

You're not ignoring the problem, you're waiting for the right moment to shine.

Because one day, the time will come to prove your worth.

To show the world exactly who you are and what you can do.

When that day comes, boy are you going to shine.

So brightly, that every person that was ever foolish enough to underestimate you will wonder how they could ever have been so blind.

And you'll never look back.

So let them underestimate you.

They probably aren't the first, and they probably won't be the last.

But they'll be wrong, every single one.


Thanks for reading, over and out...

Too much

I would lie on burning coals, scorch my soul, if it spared  your feet from the heat. I'd devote my hectic days, and sleepless nights, to making yours just a little brighter. I would give my every cent, happily spent, to make you smile for a while. All I ask in return is to always feel beautiful, wanted, treasured, and adored. To know, without a single doubt, that I'm yours. Your  one and only, now and always. So tell me, honestly, am I asking for too much?

Sinking Ships

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this sinking ship? Because I'm exhausted. I've given my all to bailing out these frigid waters, fighting against the relentless surge. I waste every breath, every thought, every effort, to confining an endless tide. I cannot stop. But I'll drown out here, cold and alone, if I don't  pause, find the source and fix this broken vessel. So teach me how to plug the gap before it kills me.

Chasing Sunset

Tonight, for whatever reason, I found myself pondering what the hell I was doing... In life, in love, in my job, my personal aspirations, my family and my friends. I wasn't necessarily worrying, or spiralling, or caught up in a depressive mentality. Alas, I was simply contemplating where I was right now, and what was next for me. Whether I was on the right path, where it would lead, and when I would get there. I was too focused on my feet, on where my journey was taking me, that I temporarily forgot. I forgot to enjoy exactly where I was right now, no matter where I was going or where I had been. But thankfully, life sent me a little reminder. As I passed the upstairs window, consumed by my own thoughts, I was met by the most beautiful sunset I had seen in a long time. The sky was on fire, and it sparked a fire in me. Instantly, I knew that I wanted to seize this moment. Without a second thought, I grabbed my keys and jumped into the car. And so began my journey to chase the sunset...
