Underestimated

Adelyn McPeters

They step over me like I’m worthless
They don’t bother to look beneath the surface
The half-truths I've told and the lies I’ve spun
They can’t seem to see I’ve already won
I’m deep in their hearts and I’ve stolen their minds
When I burn their world to the ground I’ll leave nothing behind
They’re so close and yet they cannot see
The revengeful monster awakening in me
