Who Am I

A person stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time

My comfort zone is beyond my reach.

I am stranded in a sea of conformity.

Everyone seems the same to me,

So I must be different.

But I hide my differences under my skin,

My first impression differs

From who I am within.

Music is my haven

For the classics keep me who I am.

Hank Williams, George Jones, and Johnny Cash,

My brothers from another time.

Their lyrics save my soul,

Their melodies keep me unique,

For I do not conform inside.

Only the surface changes.

Only the surface.
