Normal


Am I...?

No. 

I am normal

I am smart and I am healthy

I make good grades

I do what is right

I am a good child

I am normal. 

 

Do I...?

No.

That is absurd

I have lived all my life just fine

I am fine

 

But...

But yet they look at me weird

I am different they say

This is not true

I am the same as every other person!

 

...right?

 

I see the way they look

The way they talk

I see the way I look

The way I talk

 

It is almost like I am...

Dare I say it?...

 

NO! I AM NORMAL! I AM OKAY! I DO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS OR ISSUES! I AM JUST LIKE YOU! 

 

But am I truly?

 

I see the world in a different way

And when I speak

You take a while to understand

Almost as if my brain works a different way

It is not true though... 

Right?

 

I am normal?

I am just like you?

 

Maybe I'm overthinking

I have to be

Afterall I do not have issues

I am just me

And me is a good little child 

Not a problem for anyone I know

 

I am probably just thinking like this for attention

That has got to be it

I am not special

My brain is wired fine

I am normal

 

Right?

Heather The Tired Writer

Heyyy there~ I'm Heather. I'm tired. I'm still a minor (so to ~those~ accounts, leave me out of it please). And life is confusing. I am an amateur writer who mainly focuses on writing original stories, but I occasionally do some fanfiction and poetry. Aside from that, I am also a crappy artist, piano player, music student, and programmer. I also am a really big anime, musical, and animation in general nerd. The complete list of fandoms is waaay too long, so drop me a dm and ask if I enjoy the same thing you do (chances are, I do.) If you'd like to see more of me, you can follow me on...

Thanks for reading my profile! Have a wonderful day! With Love, ~Heather
