What is normal?
Fitting in and dressing formal?
Blending in and becoming the crowd?
Following and doing what’s allowed?

I’ve never understood
Why normal is “good”
I think life is more than passing by
It’s an adventure, a time to fly

Is standing out unique?
Or simply antique?
Is being who you truly are
Deeply fulfilling or just bizarre?

Why shrink and hide?
Why comply and abide?
You have a soul to live
A purpose to give

Even though in every conversation
My “differences” become the fixation
I smile, grateful for being me
In this authenticity, I am free
