Far from Home
July 1, 2013
I’m like an alien from outer space,
Feel so small and different and out of place.
You stare at me with your biddy little eyes,
Judging my every move, filling the world with lies.
I open my heart, showing I come in peace,
People just stare at me like I’m the police,
But of course, in this society I’m just a disgrace.
Even if I cry out for help, I always feel misplace.

“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”
