Normal

You need to stop thinking of yourself as a normal person…

Someone told me that… yesterday, if I’m not mistaken…

True… guess I’m not a normal person…

But what is a normal person?

I do dream of the happy life…

The sweet American dream…

Me, a nice house, the kids, the wife…

The fresh green grass on my porch…

Oh yes… I crave it a lot.

It would be nice, for a change in my life…

What is normal?

I guess that broken people are normal…

Vulnerable… yes, quite normal indeed.

See… that’s the problem with normality…

And when certain wrong things, just become normal.

No… it isn’t normal…

And to be elevated to the status of a super-hero…

Or even a half god or a god…

It’s quite a lot to take…

Certainly isn’t normal.

Wish I could be normal…

Just another regular dude…

Paid too much in life…

For not being normal…

 

So what is normal really?

The traumatized child?

Abused daughter?

Abused son?

Abused mother?

Abused girl…

Abused boy…

 

Normal…

A world of predators…

And a world of prey…

 

I do wish things could just be… normal.

 

Normal would be a nice change for a while…

 

Now I feel I got the responsibility to help people…

Or at least… some people…

Is that very normal?

 

You should stop looking at yourself as a normal person…
