Weird Vs. Normal
They can see me,
as I stick out from the crowd;
I don’t fit their standards
of a “normal” being.
I don’t fit in their type.
My appearance is a sore thumb,
and I have interests
some perceive as odd.
Blinded by their fibs,
they slap me with words,
filled with judgment
and their views of “normal.”
They think I am “weird,”
and deserve the guilt and shame.
A very chaotic mess
that shouldn’t be made.
‘Am I doing something wrong?’,
I wonder in my mind.
My “weirdness” to them
is my view of “normal.”
Doesn’t everyone have this,
their own viewpoints
of “normal” and “weirdness?”
Everyone tries to fit in,
but no one is made to be the same.
