"After the Hurricane" by Jazmine Sullivan

The Cardinals did not win the Superbowl (XLIII) last night, but it was an amazing game. Both teams played so well though. James Harrison's unbelievable interception and subsequent 100 yard dash to a touchdown was so serious. And Larry Fitzgerald's smooth catch into his 64 yard run to glory made me think that he had saved our game.
Yes, I was going hard for the Arizona Cardinals last night. For one, Fitzgerald and Breaston are fine. For two, Steelers' fans are annoying. And for three, Brittany likes the Steelers.
Some of my other friends were on the Arizona Cardinals bandwagon, mostly to support the underdog.
The underdog. Always root for the underdog. It is a difficult position to occupy and a hurtful title to reign under. It encourages people to lower their expectations of you and lower your appraisal of yourself. We all need expectations to live up to. Yes, unrealistic ones can be damaging, but expectations, at an appropriate level, are healthy. It informs a person that there are people who care enough about her, believe in her enough to expect something from her.
I am an underdog. I have some fans that used to think the world of me and now wait for me to fail bigger and bigger everyday. And that's fine. I have taken inventory and I have all I need to do it big.
So underdogs, meet those low expectations enough until they raise them to a level that is an accurate reflection of your ability and drive.
