alien

always have been

always will be. 

first time on this planet

finally allowed to be human

and it hurts, its so painful

but its also so beautiful, 

there's so much nurture, 

so many views in nature,

so many ways to be human, 

so many lives to choose from,

so many clothes to wear,

so many feelings to bear.

on my planet you have a blanket, 

you have the eyes of everyone

who has ever lived.

we all look the same, 

there's no Ego anymore.

the worst is to know 

that you understand 

everyone,

every language

evert word

but can't speak

can't express 

to anyone

in any way. 

on my planet there's nothingness,

the infinite vastness of space, 

you can walk forever through these rows,

walk, keep walking, you'll walk

circles around the planet

as the wind blows through you,

dust shuffles up around and inside you.

we're known as cold beings,

absent, distant, rough - 

know it all, god like entities

who's only function is to know and be

but not share and participate. 

on my planet most are stuck,

to reincarnate to Earth you need a stamp,

you have to earn your right

we cant have demons and heartless souls there

are you sure you're ready? 

are you sure you have a heart? 

can you find a life that fits your pale,

hairless, colourless, white, silenced essence? 

do you promise that you won't punish 

the humans and avatars for their blessings? 

"i might be cold,

we might've flipped our world,

cut ourselves down and stripped bare,

we wanted knowledge and sacrificed everything for it.

my cold planet wants trees,

the self would settle for a voice,

i want to be heard...

Please... help me, can you hear me?

please help me,

to be seen not only see,

to be heard not only hear,

to be understood not always be the understanding.

to no longer be the only one 

who can see, hear, be aware

of everything,

of everyone,

of all time, from all times,

at all times.

please, teach me,

humanity"

---- stating ---- pleading ------

and your face disappears 

into the dark hood

of your multicoloured tribal robe,

and all i can see are your eyes,

bright diamonds, 

reflecting back millions of tears,

without any skin or hair,

you can't even blink or emote,

but i can see and feel your sorrow

reflect back to me 

in the waters that flow 

from the crystal caves

that are your eyes.

-

on my planet we just are.

we only know how to be.

here

because we're everywhere

at once.

with this connection 

to time and information,

we stand in the middle of it all,

constantly seeing it unfold,

unable to warn, 

unable to help or prevent

disasters, deaths, births, 

these things

you can only do with a body

so we reincarnate.
