Return

Before you begin…THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE! YOU will not UNDERSTAND THE STORYLINE UNLESS YOU READ! This is in the POV of an unknown person, who has just come to Earth after being away for some time (It's not Zim). She looks at the world around her and is in absolute disbelief.

Sorry that it isn't a rhyming poem if that's the sort of thing you're into. !__!

I walk into the city park,

A glimmer in my eye,

Of hope,

Of promise,

I think I know what I will see,

The same place I thought I knew,

To be home.

But what is this place,

This alien world,

I know not where I used to be,

It seems so far away to me,

I just wish I could redeem,

That one mistake that wrecked me,

Forever, by now it seems.

I glance at a couple kids,

Playing in the park,

It's not a strange scene I'm sure,

Could it be?

Could my eyes truly see?

What I think,

Or do they deceive?

I hear the clickety clack,

Of a handheld game,

The excited shouts,

Of a bright future,

Nearing,

Nearing an empty void.

It is a sound,

Familiar to me,

But how I cannot see.

No, I must be wrong,

Has my entire life been one dream?

I sit on the nearest bench,

I sigh the breath of those in despair,

I look the look of one in need of care,

I am desperate,

I am alone.

My two shining stars,

Could it have been so?

Is it really true I've ever known you?

Or is it that I never existed?

I stop short,

I cry in my mind,

I feel pain.

The visions come,

I see them all too fast,

I feel the torture,

In memory.

My dearest son,

Is it true?

Have you really been this miserable?

Teasing and taunting,

Relentless ridicule?

Can this be true?

Are you so lonely?

So forlorn?

Can it be true?

I feel your pain,

And suffering.

You've been good,

And very smart,

Avoided danger,

Through even the most straining pain –

Cruelty.

It is not over,

I vow forever,

I shall never be taken,

I shall never leave you again.

Who could forget my sweet daughter?

She showed herself to be,

Nice and happy,

What has happened to you?

Could my loss have affected this severely?

Don't ever give up on your life,

As you never will throw down your game.

The clickety clacking is resounding,

I never will leave again.

I see the children closer –

I am not mistaken.

My grand dear children –

My Gaz and Dib.

I approach,

And tell them who I am,

Will they not recognize me?

It was so long ago.

I see the euphoric expression,

On my older son,

Tears at his eyes,

His glasses stained,

But no one cares.

It is the happiest day of my life.

Gaz, stands back there alone,

She shakes her head,

And I inhale air,

I'll need enough oxygen to force myself to say,

"Gaz, I'm your mother."

Dib is too excited to notice anything else,

It is up to me for introductions,

But how can I say it?

The pain is too great.

I know it is over, though,

I can handle this,

I gather up my courage, come out and say,

"Gaz, I'm home."

In his awe and wonderment,

Dib shouts out with no care of who hears,

"Mom, I'm so glad you're back!"

Gaz is wide-mouthed,

My next fear is,

Will she believe us?

She runs,

And I feel a wave of misery,

Become so much me.

I cry out through tears of joy and sorrow,

"Gaz, believe me! Please! I am! Truly I am!"

End of Chapter One. I hope you like it so far.
