WAITING FOR MY MOTHER SHIP

I am the unknown.

Sent here by my parents,
Crashing through the stars.

Landing on this planet,
afraid and alone.

Feeling so different in my skin,
An impostor among the human race.

A line is drawn, a distinction is made.

I am different.
I am an alien.

A cosmic cast away,
Searching the solar systems,
For a place I can call home.

So many questions I would ask,
Answers scattered across the stars.

Are they out there,
Watching over me,
From high above?

Waiting for my mother ship to arrive,
To welcome me in it's warm embrace.

For now, I sit here,
Watching the stars,
Forever wondering.

- The alien, living among humans.

One note of interest additionally here is I'm a screenwriter, with an upcoming internship with Warner Brothers & a friend who's father is an academy award winner, I plan on making this notion into a teenage/adolescent drama. Although the protagonist believes he's an alien, he has no answers at all about his origins, which automatically separates it from such films as 'K-Pax' and 'Martian Child' nor will he have any peculiarities - just the feeling of being out of place.
