Different

I'm not really different from you
I'm just from a different place
Our bodies are so similar in build
But with a different face

I have no real special powers
I can't disappear before your eyes
Feelings are another thing we share
From my eyes I can even cry

I have the same amount of digits
On what I walk, and what I hold
Forget what was said when you were young
Don't believe all that your told

Internally like you I have to breathe
We're from the same universe after all
In skeletal bodies we're much the same
Even in death we're mourned by all

I now sit among my fellow universals
Against a backdrop of starry skies
In a way they seem so familiar
Now accepted in each others eyes
