Today is the day - official publication day, that is. I said that I would put up a poem every day this week from the novel (it's a verse novel) so here goes.
ALIEN
A lot of the time
I feel like I must be adopted
or my brain got wired wrong
or I’m secretly an alien
(but they didn’t tell me).
I don’t fit
in my family
or at school,
I have friends
but sometimes even they
think I’m weird.
I say dumb things
I wear stupid clothes
I can’t make my hair behave
some days the whole world
looks wrong to me.
I wish the space ship
would come back
and collect me.
(When I work out why the cover image isn't showing up, I'll post a link to the book on my site!)
