Living In My Own Alien Nation Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Living In My Own Alien Nation



Never an understanding
Not one iota
Mind a paradox
In a foreign terrestrialworld
So far away from home

Nowhere is here
Everywhere else
Is where I dream to roam

I am an Alien
On a rock
Full of arms
Throwing stones

Do I have to keep it too simple?
It is so hard
When your own soul
Feels so far away from home

And people actually try their hardest to be different
And everything still stays the same

I am galactically inclined
Of stars and beyond
Searching for a dimension
To call my own


Untamed, yet all alone
So far away from home

I am literally in a metaphor
Confused but here I am


Misunderstand me,
I have no care anymore

Alien invasion of self
All alone

The universe is too large
Will I ever find my way home?




I was born to explore and explore some more
If only this soul was a spaceship
Taking me beyond everything and all


But here I an stuck
All is great, anyways
As I smile skewedwith a different soul


And then I pretend to be home
In this paradox that is too simple
To be my own


My home world a metaphor
To those who want to truly explore


And then I suppose I live in a dream world
Well at least it's not a nightmare
People love to live


Maybe I am an Alien after all
