There's so many different paths I want to run down, Different places I yearn to see. I'd like to live somewhere beautiful Where I can simply be I fight with myself over the fantasies I keep, Sometimes I'm sure I'll live somewhere far, I could have a chicken or two, My dog could enjoy a huge yard. Other times I know deep down, I need convenience and I'd surely fail Without being somewhere crowded, Delivery is a privilege. I don't want the middle between these two places, Because suburbia was depressing, Living only two inches away from a bustling family, I didn't like the times I lived with mine there. I'd need space undoubtedly. Then the absurdity starts showing, I think to myself.. I'll find an abandoned city Maybe a desserted town like the ones tiktok shows me. I could pretend I'm in my own story And the empty streets would be my own I could wander these houses and see what was left behind... I think it sounds silly but, it always comes to mind. If I could live in the house of my dreams It would be somewhere unimaginable Underneath the deepest seas. I'd have glass walls, and a ceiling made of stars I'd wake up to see jellyfish blooms And sit in awe, nothing to do I could swim to the surface somehow And watch meteors fall I think what I truly desire Is somewhere comfortable Where I can imagine these wishes Without being bothered by time, or people who don't really care Or maybe I belong on another planet, Because I feel alien everywhere.

Alien Everywhere
