I figured it out using the Wikipedia page another member provided. One structure is heptagonal, with the O as the element at the top, simply added into the structure from C6H6. Free electrons are added as needed.
The other is hexagonal, with the O simply added to the H on that end, forming hydroxide. Another name for this structure is C6H5OH.
There are a number of possibilities, curiously enough wikipedia gives this formula its own page though with the 2 most common options: Phenol and oxepin

Circular -benzene, except one of the ends is O-H, instead of just H.
Linear - many different combinations exist
