Have you ever seen an alien?

Do you want to?

Look over there, look

I'm right there

Hunched over

On the floor.

My eyes are bolted shut

Skin is red and raw

Ill. Silent. Cold

Uncomfortable wherever I go

My alien lungs cannot breathe your

Nasty air, theyre so sore

And you.

You are like the others that tried to help me.

Just throw me off the earth and stop my melting

You

Will never understand,

Your bones are strong and sturdy

I buckle at the thought of standing up

To your society.

Your society

Your society

Your society

And the only reason

You come to my aid

Is because I pretend I'm

Winning at these mind games

The one condition

On which I play

Is if it means that I'll be

Human someday, but

Oh

I'm an alien

I need you to save your energy

I can never win

I need you to take me anywhere

To a world that wasnt constructed

In a way that's so destructive

To a world that doesn't call me

Alien, and alienates me.

Your society
