Dear Earthlings

I wrote this poem many years ago when I was a teenager.  As you may have guessed, I was also going through my Science Fiction phase at the time.

 

 Excuse me...

I must have taken a wrong turn.

There must be some kind of mistake.

I must have drifted here asleep.

I would not come here wide awake.

Excuse me...

If I seem a strange trespasser,

Or like a rock on necklace pearled.

I guess the reason must be that

I came, at birth, to the wrong world.

I remember being a teenager. Felt just like that.

Loved this! As a teenager I felt the same way...lots and lots of times. They were good years, but I wouldn't want to relive them.

I think a lot of teenagers feel this way.
