Normal
Normal.
I hate that word, normal.
I detest it with a passion.
Alright, maybe not the word.
But the idea?
Who defined it?
Who gave them the right to define it?
To say who should and should not be accepted?
People praise individualism.
Those same people form cliques.
Try to fit that defined "normal."
We who try and break free of that oppressive word
are shunned by society for our differences.
I would burn the word from memory,
if I could.
Normal.
