Alien far from space

When you are surrounded by people yet all alone
When you're supposed to fit in and feel at home
You feel like an Alien far from space  
Sometimes not part of the human race 

Brows frown and jokes on lips die
Nobody understands when you cry
You are always apart feeling sad
You speak, words come, people get mad

What you try to do doesn't always work
People who surround you call you the jerk
They will never get you, you'll forever feel blue
A foreigner, a creature, a newcomer too

You tried your best and gave it your all
But you feel like an old tatty ragdoll 
Left on the shelf because your limbs don't move
Lost in a sea of negative attitude ​
