extraterrestrial
I don't think I belong here.
Mom, where'd you go?
Dad, don't leave.
Little sister, little sister.
Deep in my head I stay.
Roaming the hills of unwanted thoughts,
delving the forests of secret things.
Climbing the stories to reach for the sun
I almost grasp a star.
too late
falling
falling
the story not enough to bear me.
falling
falling
falling
I don't think I belong here.
I'd rather walk
under the leaves of Lothlorien
sleep under the light of Evenstar
I'd rather die
battling Smeagol
poor, pitiable old Smeagol
I'd rather speak
a language no human knows
deep in the Chamber of Secrets
I'd rather be a Farwalker
I'd rather spit at the Snake in
Eden
I'd rather fly
and meet Oromis and Glaedr
I'd rather wield a sword against
whatever nameless one
in what ever
half forgotten world
born of a dying thought
I'd rather be a character to scorn.
Where are you, Mom, Dad?
Little sister, little sister.
I don't think I belong here.
