Underestimated

They looked at me with quiet eyes

Like I was made of smaller skies

They dressed their doubt in velvet lies

And wrote me off before I tried

They never saw the fire burn

Beneath a calm they can't unlearn

I walk through storms, I rise, I turn

I'm not the lesson, I'm the girl who learns

Don't tell me who I'm meant to be

Your limits don't belong to me

I'm not broken, I'm becoming

I'm not silent, I'm still humming

They will hear me when I say it

I was never lost

Just underestimated

I don't follow, I create it

I don't wait for love

I claim it

I was never weak, just underrated

They called me soft, they called me kind

As if that meant I'd fall behind

But mercy doesn't make me blind

And gentle doesn't mean resigned

I've walked through rooms where pride is king

Where shallow hearts wear heavy rings

But I won't bow to hollow things

I kept my soul, I kept my wings

I'm not a face you get to read

I'm not a story built on need

I'm not broken, I'm becoming

I'm not silent, I'm still humming

They will hear me when I say it

I was never lost

Just underestimated

I don't follow, I create it

I don't wait for love

I claim it

I was never weak, just underrated

You can throw your shadows

But I'm made of light

You can doubt my glory

But I still ignite

You can speak your limits

But they're not my fate

I don't need permission

To be something great

I'm not broken, I'm becoming

I'm not silent, I'm still humming

They will hear me when I say it

I was never lost

Just underestimated

I don't follow, I create it

I don't wait for love

I claim it
