Humans were not the first intelligent species in the Universe. Nor were they the second. Or the third. They were around the 217th, I believe. Human scientists were right. There is Life out there. Of course, only a fraction is the definition of "intelligent".

I am one of those in that category. I am only one of the intelligent species on my planet IIAI. Of course, humans would call the planet something else. Although I am not sure if they know about it. I am part of an Earth research group, and my focus is the United States of America. That is how I know this language so well. I do love researching the U.S. of A. Although it's quite a flashy title, I think it is adorable how dirt and the planet are the same name.

However, that is not why I am writing. I have come to the findings that all the governments on my planet and others are going to initiate a revival of Earth. To do this, they will take over the human population and possible destroy it. It's like all human movies are coming true. Just without a hero to stop the aliens.

What human's call COVID-19 is simply a test of each countries strength and weakness. There are spies. Not in human form, because none of the intelligent species look like humans, but as other forms.

You must understand that I do not wish any harm. I simply want you to keep eyes out and to be prepared.

I am very sorry,

IAIII

Buying

The WEIGHT of my actions are too hard to bear. How could I? My PLAN was to get everyone what they wanted, not give them everything! I bought gifts like a DRUNK man! My spending is way OVER the limit; I may have to return things. But I have a lot of money. My idea to not spend too much was a FAIL, and I may have done a light BINGE of shopping, but the loss of money will not make buying ROLLS or gaining BLUBBER any harder. In fact, I think this is a good thing. Instead of saying "oh woe is me" I'm going to HANG out at the toy donations until every gift is sent. I will make every dog or cat SHAKE their tail with treats. And that can be a Christmas tradition.

To Christian,

BRAVO. You have finally won the hearts of my mother and father. I understand that as the Judge and JURY for my sister's case, they must be correct in their opinion, but I cannot AGREE. No matter their thoughts, the OPPOSITE is true. From when my sister had BROUGHT you to the house, I have had no PEACE. I was suspicious enough when you wouldn't look at my sister, but only at me, but I caught WIND that you think my dear Elle was GARBAGE, and that is an INSULT to my family and me. I also know you were not at the BEACH as you said. You were not even OUTSIDE, were you? I will permit you to RUN away like an animal with an INSTINCT of a DROUGHT, but if you stay, I will FIGHT you. This is not a GAME. I thought my parents would end it all when they saw you KISSING under the TREE, but you stood their TEST with ELEGANT words, and now you must stand mine.

Your friend and loving sister-in-law,

Naomi Donner

waiting

I hide my hurt

waiting

for someone to see it

waiting

for someone to help

waiting

because i don't speak out

I slam my door

waiting

for someone to hear it

waiting

for someone to help

waiting

but they just yell to not slam it

I write on my walls

waiting

I write all my hurt

waiting

how I blame myself

waiting

for someone to notice

waiting

but they only saw my room is messy

I blame myself

for waiting

but I cant help

but wait

If only I wasn't me

waiting

telling myself

that waiting

is just manipulation

waiting

is just exageration

waiting

is selfish of me

waiting

its all my fault

waiting

means nothing

and still I wait

waiting

hurting in spasms

crying

and pick myself up

waiting

for someone to notice

me waiting

and help me from

my waiting

because I don't know what to do

so I'm waiting

for someone to help

and yet I know

if my waiting

was somehow noticed

my waiting

would be put off as showy

or my waiting

will be seen by someone

who waiting

will tell me that I need to help them help me

pick myself up again

waiting

and I know Ill always be

waiting

sending distress signals

waiting

inconsistent tears

waiting

for someones voice

but always

waiting

Another Day

It's just a normal day. You look out the window, towards the green grass glimmering with dew. It's cold, but inside the school, it doesn't matter. The teacher is speaking about how the quadratic formula reveals X, but you know it all already, and that isn't a reason to stop looking at the view. You see the stars, so bright because the suns are so far. The milky way is able to be seen, a queen that will never give up her throne. You smile with delight as the sky shines. Your teacher moves on to another topic. You don't know this one. Turning away from the window, you give her your full attention. You see the sky every day. It's not going anywhere.
