Assumptions are all I hear.
False facts are what I fear.
Talent and skill lie under my skin.
Wasting such gifts seem like a sin.
Look at me more than once.
You seem to think I am dunce.
I am more than meets the eye.
Given a chance I could fly high.
I will prove to you my skill!
After will you look over me still?
I will concur your hardest task!
Just a chance is all I ask.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
