Normality


Why do I always have to Think?

That I'm always on the edge and I'm on the Brink

Of falling off and landing with a Clink

I'm exploring my own mind and I'm beginning to Sink

From the confusion inside me because I just had to Think

I wonder if I will ever Know 

How it feels to feel normal, I will never Show

How it affects me,I've hit a new Low

Everything comes at me blow by Blow

But the real me most people will never Know

Will I be right in the mind no one can Say

I'll just have to live every hour through Everyday

I'll just relax and fade into the Grey

When people ask I'll only tell them I'm Okay

I'll never be normal I can already Say

Yet through all of this who says that's Bad

I've conquered this all while never reaching Sad

Even through all things I've made amends with my Dad

And even through all the hurt I don't think I've ever actually gotten Mad

Because at the end of the day I've realized things aren't all that Bad.
