Forever

A story unheard so I'll tell it again
Clear my throat and begin at the voyage's end
My vessel was decked out with new elite mods
Life support cut, been ejected from my pod
Brain's in a panic, emotions are frantic
Just crash landed on this alien planet
Pulled away screaming, now empty-handed
No going back, it appears that I'm stranded
Doctors examine with a paramount timing
Drops in my eyelids, fearing that I'm blinded
Memory's fresh, every day I'm reminded
Searching for my home world hoping that I find it
Mission to study what it is that you do
And move to include where there's room to improve
Evident truths that you prove through and through
Learning things about you that you probably never knew
Assimilate, learn to behave in a civil way
Integrate, a wide range of trade coming into play
One of you more and more day to day
A whole generation before paved the way
Ever so fragile, this life on a string
For a finite affair such a short term fling
Some say become what environment brings
But one day I'll put away these childish things

Alive transcribed with a pad and a pen
One for the ages, more than a trend

A species unique, it's amazing how diff'rent
They seem to encounter a variety of limits
Damage to the carapace causes it to swell up
Plus spoken language only recently developed
A quantity matrix they're placing with a trend
With numbers so primitive they count in base 10
For learning they cluster in rooms where they huddle
Easy as it seems, yet they all seem to struggle
Request simple tasks, and they call it exercise
Present simple facts and they all fail to memorize
Undergo procedures and look different after
At a higher intake some metabolize faster
Or not as their bodies do exhibit extra mass
Their top land speed would just have them finish last
Isolated, feeling all alone since my birth
The only of my kind that is here on this earth

One note, whether planned or by chance
It appears they progress as their age does advance
Watching them focus on their minuscule problems
Each one oblivious the same microcosm
But my mind's out there in the ether
Still separated from the rest of these creatures
Beaconed with a signal and intercepted talkback
Unreal, I believe that I have contact
Black hair, brown eyes, body type slender
Articulate, intelligent, of female gender
In the past there had been a few sightings
But each one's a hoax, really nothing that exciting
Notes that we make share the same observations
Expressing identical explained frustrations
That said, our plan is reproduce
Populate with nerds have them overrunning you
