Underestimated by the Overestimated

ianshatss

Never 
underestimate 
deep thinkers, 
who keep to themselves, 
especially those who are secure with who they are as well, for they have accepted their own flaws and imperfections long ago; bulletproof against those who pass judgement, cast blame, and posses 
the face of two; For they are riddled in
self-deceit and insecurities, 
making their behavior
 extremely predictable, 
unbeknownst to them; But not the thinker of thoughts for they have 
no desire to boost their vanity, 
for a lion doesn’t need to tell 
you he’s a lion, because 
he knows he’s a lion

  • L. B. Mek

    (really enjoyed your self affirming, wording
    of defiant, self reliance and fortitude
    in the face of society's, obsession
    with fake social ladder games
    cyclically, regurgitating
    those playground mindsets of submission
    in the name of belonging's, featherweight protection..
    such an empowering read and thanks for inspiring
    my little scribbled reply)
    'there's power in humility
    behind every great hero or heroine
    are the deep thinkers
    who shared their wisdom and guidance
    but their accolades, cup's
    are filled by waterfalls of
    self excavated, worth
    that few, can identify with..'
    (and often
    their biggest challenge
    comes from balancing
    that tightrope, between
    ego and wisdom)..
