Alien
They know me well
But no one knows
My name
I am a boring
Dumb and speechless
Alien
Outside of me there is a world
Where I do not matter
Where even I
Do not know I am
I am Alienated
From the world
From myself
In the world inside
I am loved
By everyone
I am an angel
My name is Thinker
But to the world outside
I am but an Alien
