The Alien In Me

From birth to a toddler As a toddler to teenager From teenage to adolescent And as I grew up I knew I'm weird I knew am unique I knew am an enigma I knew am different I also knew am an Odd fellow Yeah I see things not seen with optical eyes Hear things beyond this realm I am prophetic for I say the unspeakable, things not normal for the average They say so many things about me as am growing up: You are so annoyingly quite You are so sensitive You are always by yourself. You are a loner Your eating habits are so different, You eat herbs. You are a teetotaler, And a recluse, an introvert, With the ability to heal the sick. An object of mingled awe and revulsion, Simultaneously revered and abhorred, Mysterious and elusive, highly talented and unassuming, with enormous strength but reserved. I am an alien, living amongst strangers. There's an Alien within. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
