To Apply

I feel equivalent to an alien
as if I don't belong
for I am Pleiadian
I'm extremely headstrong

Although I understand struggle
I imagine we could still overcome
if we can learn to juggle
then to this we wouldn't succumb

Have we become to ostracism
when someone doesn't meet our criteria
magnifying a prism
as if they have diphtheria

I recognize it's difficult
but we must somehow comply
to obtain that which is Biblical
and this to apply

Hi Angela, I am sure I commented on this one yesterday, and yet there is nothing! Being a Pleiadian, you would be concerned for Earth’s future, and you'd have every reason to be! ~ Regards // paul

Thanks Paul. I'm not sure what happens to comments on this site. The same thing has happened to me on other people's poetry, sometimes. I truly appreciate your reading, commenting and support. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

I was always hoping to find out that I was adopted, which made my identical twin angry. We looked exactly like our daddy, so that was in the way of my dream. I never felt like I belonged in my family. Still don't.

I guess we all feel like aliens at some point.

I guess we all feel like aliens to some extent right now -- making us all normal in a way. Interesting ideas here, Angie. Peace and Serenity, Gershon

So many of us feel we do not belong, hopefully we will all find a place one day where we can call it home...
