Alien from Earth

CC BY-NC
I cannot reach the stars I see at night So I guess I have to stare Take deep breaths and say it alright Close my eyes like I don't care When the chicken crows Mabey I'll want to reach a different view Watch my toes Look if theres more like me to join the que There's no competition for my position OH I wish there was We could turn it into a coalition And build new words My place Is probably found in space

Im a seventeen year old who had a passion for writing since the 4th grade I thought it was going to take me somewhere seeing that I was the only boy who couldn't play sports who was born with a soft soft voice and remains misunderstood I have spent my childhood trying to escape every comer of it yet still I have gotten nowhere I still have big dream like making children's dream come true and going to America
