Two Normals by *oozsinfered:iconoozsinfered:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


If I laugh loudly
will they look?
If I do something wrong
do they watch?
If I can't understand
might they laugh?

What if, I ask,
what is normal?
Will they say
It is something you are not?

I'll think I am,
that word they call normal,
because I am to me,
not to them
I am unnormal
to them.
but they are unnormal
to me.

They will tell me
be like us,
be normal.

I want to be myself
but I want to fit in.
Does that mean
I want to be
what they find normal?
because what they find unnormal
is what I am.

So the only way to be normal
is not to be my normal,
but theirs.

The way to be what normal is
for them,
is to be what
unnormal is for me.

Abnormal is the real word BTW I used "unnormal" because it sounds like what a kid would really say, I want to give off the high school feel of fitting in.

Normal is just another "Kid Tag" to me and using it to fit in really doesn't mean anything.

Everyone has a normal, what some people find to be "unnomal may in fact be normal to others.

I know many different people and none are the same, some keep to themselves and some are very loving and annoying. What they do in their lives they find to be normal.

Yes I know I just keep going.
The word normal may be a real word and have a mean in the dictionary, but in reality it's just a thing to describe people that act the same or dress the same and still that more creepy then anything.

So next time you call some kid "unnormal" or abnormal please remember you're really calling yourself that in a way.

OK i believe I will not waste more of your time.

other thing related to kid tags by me:

LOL I like it. True about the "So next time you call some kid "unnormal" or abnormal please remember you're really calling yourself that in a way."

Figured that a while back.It's really strange and i never thought anyone would understand what i meant by that so i kept it to myself lol.

Thanks.

Yes its very hard to see poems like this, I think people don't really know how to put it in words.
I thought I might make one for myself. As I can see someone already likes it.

Very nice! So true, standards are rarely, if ever, universal.
