THIS IS ABOUT FEELING "DIFFERENT" (which Fio has been since she was a child)

Fiorella is going to soak you with some of her poetry today:

                     Alien

I was born on Venus, maybe Mars

Where people see with different eyes

Where all the stars are different stars

Where the all skies are different skies

My outside, yes, it is the same, 

I've passed for years as human born

And answered to a human name

And tried to live in human form

The difference is in my brain

In how I think and feel and see

In how my heart absorbs the pain

Of my peculiarity

'

Alone, alone, all, all, alone

I scream aloud and no one hears--

 Because I use an alien voice

And you have only human ears
