Deep Underground

  
 
I’m not offended if I don’t belong,  
It’s not my way of life to toot a horn.  
A lot of what I say and do is wrong,  
And even when I try I don’t conform.  
   
Yet still I found a light to be reborn;  
I’m not offended if I don’t belong.  
Is “heaven-sent” a word, as I am torn,  
But either way it didn’t take me long.  
 
Trust in a leap of faith, I heard its song,
I saw a world of knowledge poets reap.
I’m not offended if I don’t belong,  
A poet used-to-be, I joined the Deep.
   
It’s for my seeds of verse as poems grow,  
It happens while I learn how to be strong.  
As misfits who, like me, deep underground,  
I’m not offended if I don’t belong.
