Existentialism

In a world where you are normal
only if you behave like the ‘others’
where normal is defined 
by the powerful and disconcerted
I scream existentialism
I scream individuality
I scream for the voiceless, 
the painful, and distressed beings
that walk this earth
I pray for a quiescent state 
of mind
Yet, I find that it is an impossible
dream just because of the circumstances
Only in a world where animals
dictate what is normal
will normal ever exist
