Alien Read Count : 47

I belong here but don't fit in

The way I think is different

The way I perceive is strange

Every moment brings it closer

And every awkward contact with humans

Leaves me stranded


So often I feel like an alien

Everything I've learned about living

Doesn't fit here in this place

The defenses I've learned

Raised on my own hostile world

So often separate me


I've designed certain algorithms

Ive established boundaries and lines

I've created so many peremeters

That have become useless

Broken and worn

In this place


I decided to reinvent myself

I thought, "I'll start it all anew!"

But the core of the person I've become

Remains isolated

The stranger inside of me

Is still lost and alone


I have fallen into a despair

The joy I onced used to shelter me

Has turned to sadness

And I wonder where I fit

I wonder if who I am

Will ever make it here


What it took for me to make it

My journey through time and space

Years and decades passed in flight

Spent longing for the day

That I would reach this place

To make for me a home


Arriving was like a dream come true

Even hardships were received with joy

I thought that nothing could shake me

I was solid in my gratitude

Every moment was a wonder

Waiting to be revealed


But I am stranger in a strange land...
