I Seem to Be/ But Really I am

My body is out East,

But my heart is still in the West

I seem to be outgoing,

But really I am an introvert

I don’t mind the cold,

But I long for the sun.

I may read a lot,

But I am not confident with my own writing.

I am from California,

But I haven’t been to LA in ten years.

I do not make emotional Art,

But I am a Romantic at heart.

Sometimes people think I am being facetious,

When I am actually quite sincere.

I keep moving further and further from home,

But really I long to return.
