i don't fit in
because i am an alien
from another planet
that belongs to a galaxy
far away from the milky wayi accidentally landed on planet earth
while i was exploring
the outer space
because i thought
home was too boring
i needed something morei was attracted to this planet
because of its vibrant colors
blue is my favorite color
so beautiful
i feel so calm just by looking at it.
but this one was different, bright.
i couldn't stop staring.
the color humans call "green" was attractive to me
for i have never seen it before
nothing looks like that back homei was only going to look at this beautiful thing
but something strange happened
it was like there was an invisible power
that kept pulling me
towards this brilliantly-colored sphere
i tried to resist it
many times
but i failed
every single time.eventually i realized
there was nothing i could do
but to give in
to this incredible power
and face my destiny.i crashed into the ground
i tried to float but couldn't
it was like this force was real
it is a trap
once you're in
you can't get outi am still trying to figure out a way
to escape this
concrete junglemy spaceship is broken
and that supernatural force
has gone over my head.i am scared i won't be able to make it
but all i can do is hope
and keep trying.
