"Alien"
by Ramy

Why am I an alien?
Is it my dark skin reflecting green
on this foreign land that’s neither yours nor mine ?
Is it the way my tongue twist
speaking your words in a broken voice
Or is it the control you hold over me
like a mouse trap in the attic
since aliens don’t belong on your Earth.

Land of the free, I’m a brave creature,
Humans speak, I just scream
in complete silence, I exist

Land of the free, I’m a brave creature
Alien is my name, remember it.
