Alien – Written Saturday 20th November 1999 (Aged 24)

Alien

i look at people
they are so close
but when i look deep
right into their eyes
i know they are faraway
i carry this feeling
it is a hand in the dark
it is so cold here
this feeling is the spark
that lights my home fires
i look at people
they seem semi real
seems to move in slow motion
the world is ending
and i know it is happening now
but i am inside myself
and i do not notice the chaos
that all around abounds
society will continue to collapse
but i will not hear the sound
i look at people
i am an alien being
but i do not know where i am from
and i do not know where i am going
all i know is that one day i will be gone




James Garratt – Saturday 20th November 1999
