Normal?

The normal teenager drinks and smokes

Maybe to lessen their sorrows

But me, I sit and read and cry for other people's pain

I'm not normal and I get self concious

About the fact I'm a freak

I'm an outcast, a misfit, I just don't belong

Sometimes I wish I wasn't me

But then I rejoice 'cause I'm free

But to have someone who always has your back

I can't help but rejoice that I have that

So should I change to fit in to society

And follow crowds with pity

I sometimes wish that I was normal But what fun is that?
