OVERLOOKED

Poem Commentary

There are a lot of times in my life when I feel overlooked. I feel like what I do doesn't matter. Sometimes, I think that God has given me a mission that is bigger than me. However, these are all lies because I have potential in Jesus. If Jesus says I can do something, than no matter what others may think, I can. I hope you are inspired by this poem to believe in Christ and IN YOU. You are somebody with Jesus!

Inspirational Verse: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." - Romans 8:37

OVERLOOKED

Are you doubted?
Are you debated?
Do people look at you and see
Disappointment, frustration,
O depravity! You think you
Are nobody-when God says
"You are somebody."

Are you a bug?
A worm or a slug?
Who do you want to be?
Do you want to be last?
A thing of the past, somebody
The world will never know?
Or do you want to show
The haters and God that
You are somebody.

Yes, you are somebody,
Yes, you are that body
That needs a strong head-
Listen to God instead of
Listening to yourself,

Whenever you say, "I can't"
Tell yourself that "You can"
Your dreams are important
Enough to stand next to,
The Great Halls of Fame!
Don't let anyone try to
Downplay Your Name!

Let them under-estimate,
Let them over-decimate,
But never let anyone
Get under your skin.
Stay in the game to win!
Don't let your fear
Tell you, "You're Nobody."

Hold your head high!
You are somebody
And you will never be
Overlooked by anybody.

Amen. We made a good poetry sandwich on the list, wouldn't you say?

I am not sure what you mean ??? LOL but thanks for the comment. I hope you were blessed.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
