Outsider

AI Generated cover image for a poem titled, OUTSIDER, written by Eric Montgomery, American Poet. mrericmontgomery.com

I’m an outsider looking in
On a world that’s not my own
A world of lights and sounds and smells
That make me feel alone

I’m an outsider looking in
On a crowd that’s not my kin
A crowd of faces, names and roles
That I don’t fit within

I’m an outsider looking in
On a life that’s not my choice
A life of rules and norms and goals
That stifle my own voice

I’m an outsider looking in
But I don’t want to be
An outsider looking out
For a place where I can be free

Writing for Eric isn’t just about stringing words together; it's a full-blown therapy session. Who needs couch sessions when you've got a pen? Off the writing desk, Eric can be found snapping away with a camera, conjuring up vegan delicacies, and – wait for it – jamming out on bagpipes! Talk about a Renaissance man, huh?
