Alien far from space

20/8/2017

 
Picture
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 ​

It's cool if we're not okay right now
Sometimes we ride the stormy seas
It's alright if we fight and then fall out
Sometimes that's what's meant to be

It's often the case that you make my heart break
Sometimes I love you obsessively 
It's drama and cat claws and visceral anger
We know it's doesn't always go gently 
​

It's cool if you can't stand the sight of me
​Sometimes you need the time alone
It doesn't mean you hate me at all 
It's just your time, my time to grow

We exist in the same space same place
It's all we have right now I know
One day we'll laugh looking back at the past
I'll hold you until then though
