Alien Girl

No one wanted me!

All the kids kept me inside

a small prison box.

Journals, books and toys

were my friends I could speak to

at recess and lunch.

Friendships were useless;

Friends would melt like oil

and burn out fast.

The kids were people,

I was not a real person;

I was a martian.

I despised recess;

Recess was like attending

a mandated club.

Schoolmates hated me.

I became the black sheep of

each young family.

Loneliness changed me.

It made me a gift

that no one wished for.
