I Am Normal

When I was a kid, I was treated like a freak. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me but I tried very hard to be "normal." What I didn't get back then was that I already was normal. Most of us were but we tried desperately to be what we already were because we were convinced something was off about us. These days, it seems everyone is desperate to be different and treat anyone who claims they're normal as though they're awful people. If I say I'm normal, I get a lecture. Ha. That's a cycle of stupid I don't care to indulge anymore. I'm me, I'm myself. I happen to be normal whether I'm treated like a freak or not. Whether you try to be normal or try to be different, you aren't just being yourself. To hell with everyone else.
