i used to think
that i was an alien
not of humankind

never did see things
as others had, in their
more normal minds

it took me all too long
to realize, that people
have two choices

be their own beautiful snowflake
or melt into the puddle
of conformity for comfort's sake

so what if i'm in left field
the grass is greener over here


so i'd rather be
extra-terrestrial
cause it's funny how
most humans
are not kind
