What is normal?!


(poems go here) What is normal?! The misconception of what people put into practice of a general action. Or at least that’s my definition. Because there is no such thing as normal or having normality as a human being. See being told something should be done a certain way as if it was already written. Concrete! Or as if it was already set in stone. Chiseled in. So what is normal? And why do we use it to define a person? As if we have already written them in our own personal dictionary. A definition; in our head that we use to incorporate what we think is normal. Is that really normal? Or is it our ideas that we want to see in them. Again is that really "normal"? Can anyone tell me, what "normal" is? Because the last time I checked everyone was born different. Yet we portray these ideas as if we weren't different. Is difference what we fear? Are we afraid of change? Because from the looks of it we want these ideas to stay the same. Strange. How "normal" can have such an effect on an individual’s views. But Today I'm here to tell you, Hi my name is Fantasia Doctor and I am NOT normal. Thank you!
