I am Austin Pena


A diamond in the rough

More like a pearl in a dirty clam

I don't belong

A silver lining behind a cloud

More like the star that shines brightest

I don't compare

A man that doesn't come around often

More like a man that is thought to no longer exist

I can't be found

Metaphors could try to describe me

But they are far from the truth

I'm not another statistic because of my race

I'm not another guy because of my approach

I'm a gem that you rarely see

Once you see me, you'll never forget

Once I'm in your present, you'll never be the same

Strong, Mighty, Intelligent, Mysterious

No one can compare and no one will understand why 

I am indescribable 

I am one of a kind

I am Austin Pena
