Normal

Normal is boring and dull.
We work so hard to fit in.
To be who everyone thinks we should be…
Based on skin color, age, gender, family, etc.

I want something different.
Normal is a facade.
Everyone struggles.
I want you to know who I really am.
I want to know who you really are.
The good, the bad, the ugly.

I want you to love me anyway.
I’ll love you in spite of it all.

I will not live in the middle.
The edge, the extremes, it makes me feel alive.
