Undervalued

Let me pick up the pen and leave

I know what I'm worth at this point

Not out of arrogance but from hard work

I see my achievements as proof

That I'm not a lowly scribe but a force to

be reckoned with, I'm pure fire,

As each drop of ink alters the world

Writers are the ones who change society

But never receive the credit for their creations

Some of us are excluded from things

It is a constant battle between what is right and what is not

For those of us who create, we are kicked the most,

It is like burning an old painting because it is not a famous

name signed at the bottom

Value does not come from attention but quality

Some people don't deserve our words

Or the time we take to create beauty.
