Alien

A Short Poem

By Rika LekayPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

I can't feel anything

Am I even human?

I do not feel complicated emotions

I must not be human

I'm trapped here

But who knows how long I'm trapped for?

No one knows

There's only a rough estimate of how long I've been trapped

But what if I've been trapped for longer...

...than anticipated

Just let me free my mind

Why do you...

Torture me...

By not letting me think

About other possibilities...

Other realities...

In my head

I may not think the way you do

But why should that matter?

I may be slow

But I get my answers when the time is right

Why am I called insane?

Just because I am not normal...

Nothing is normal...

Not you, not me, no one is normal...

We are all trapped in our own worlds

Just a figment of the others' imaginations

Only time will tell when I'd be blessed...

Or cursed by another's presence...
