I Will Not

For The Vocal "Things You Can’t Say Out Loud" Challenge

Introduction

Just a poem about the situation

The words of Bob Dylan's "Joey" sum me up

Always on the outside of whatever side there was

When they asked him why it had to be that way, well, he answered, "Just because"

This is a free form poem although it has a sort of format

The music is "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty

    Being a social worker/counselor at one time this would have been a great poem to share with a coping skills group. Good work.
