Food for Thought from an Odd Mind
Some may call me crazy
 Some may call me weird
  
 But it’s all I know
 It’s all I am
  
 I may not think
 As most of you think
 I may not act
 As most of you act
  
 But I breathe
 I see
 I hear
 I know
 I learn
 I move
 I grow
 Just as any other creature would
  
 However
 My mind
 Does not exactly work
 As most might think
  
 I may appear
 As a normal teenage human
 Talking
 Joking
 Laughing
 Learning
 Growing
 Understanding
  
 However
 I think
 As though
 I were many
 Different
 Forms
  
 I think
 As though I were
 A child
 A girl
 A boy
 A woman
 A man
 An animal
 An insect
 The earth
 The air
 The water
 The fire
 The sound
 The silence
 The light
 The dark
 The wood
 The metal
 The wires
 The electricity
  
 I think
 As though I were
 An alien life-form
 Observing those around me
 Taking mental notes
 On how we live
 How we breathe
 How we communicate
 How we interact
 How we love
 How we hate
 How we feel
 How we think
  
 I don’t think
 As anyone might predict
 My thoughts are
 Ever-changing
 My mind is
 Ever-swaying
  
 I sometimes think
 That I am nothing
 That I am simple
 Flesh
 On
 Bones
  
 I sometimes think
 That I am everything
 That I am extraordinarily
 Imaginative
 Creative
 Inspiring
  
 I sometimes think
 That last stanza
 Is complete
 B---s---
  
 I understand
 That one creature
 Has the power
 To change the world
  
 I understand
 That even though
 This is true
 Not many people
 Think that they themselves
 Can be
 That
 Creature
  
 I understand
 That you
 You reading this
 Right now
 Have the power
 To change
 Everything
  
 I understand
 That sometimes
 You may not
 Feel as though
 You are
 Good
 Enough
  
 I must say
 You
 Reading
 Must understand
 “Good Enough”
 Is complete
 B---s---
  
 “Good Enough”
 Has endless
 Possibilities
  
 “Good Enough”
 Has endless
 Definitions
  
 “Good Enough”
 Is defined
 By
 “Societal Norms”
  
 Nothing
 Is
 Normal
  
 No One
 Is
 Normal
  
 I
 Am not
 Normal
  
 You
 Are not
 Normal
  
 “Normal”
 Is not
 normal
  
 “Normal”
 Is a simple
 Word
 Used to characterized
 And define
 What one
 Is used to
  
 Therefore
 “Normal”
 Is
 Everything
  
 Everything
 Is
 Normal
  
 I
 Am
 Normal
  
 You
 Are
 Normal
  
 “Normal”
 Is
 Normal
  
 I
 Am normal
 Because
 I
 Am what I am
 Used to
  
 You
 Are normal
 Because
 You
 Are what you are
 Used to
  
 Things become normal
 When they become
 Our Normal
  
 Things become okay
 When they become
 Our Okay
  
 I became normal
 When I became
 My Normal
  
 You have
 You will
 Become normal
 When you became
 Become
 Your Normal
