An Alien from My Mother’s Womb

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Sat, 2011-06-18 03:09

I live in a world unlike the norm
Running alongside the usual
The wild and crazy having fun
I’m subdued watching on

I wonder what folks think
Behind bright eyes
Am I the crazy one?
An alien from my mother’s womb

I find it thrilling to run with the horde
Though my course is contrary to the crowd
Like an alien from my mother’s womb
I hide away from the custom

Like a UFO hovering to observe
I wish to know the ways of the herd
Like the mind of the Martian
I wish to grasp the why of the wild and crazy

While the norm hide away from the crazy one
The crazy one seeks out the norm

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
i laid down at 2 am to sleep and then this title appear in my mind. so i got up and wrote a poem to it. now it is 2;59 am and i am posting it. i should be able to sleep now that i have written this from the weird feeling i have that work their way out in my dreams i think the meds is making me crazier than normal lol 'good nite'
