Normal Thing to do.
June 11, 2013
He walks down the hallway,
With that same blank
Stare.
Walks into class,
Stare.
Sits down,
Stare.
Acting like this is the
Normal thing to do.
The norm.
Doing drugs on the weekend.
“Cigs”
“Pot”
“Weed”
What’s next?
“Heroin”
“Meth”
“Cocaine”
Peer pressure.
What goes on at home?
Abuse?
Neglect?
Torture?
Acting like this is the
Normal thing to do
The norm.
No one’s going to care.
No one.
What does it matter if I
Drink up!!
Party!
High lyfe!
This is not the
Normal thing to do.
Isn’t the norm.
