Sunsets At Brighton Beach

I didn't prepare a speech or anything

My life was planned so meticulously

Until Brighton Beach ruined everything

I signed my name on a form asking for volunteers

I needed a change of scenery and found 

myself here

Helping people through their trauma 

and fear

And who is this that emerged from the shadows, perfectly at home

Among the broken

But myself, the shy and un-outspoken? 

I always said I wanted to make a difference 

in the world 

And honestly, the view doesn't hurt
