Normal

What is wrong in being a normal person?
What is bad in being in the 99%?
Sure, it’s always shown, 
How nice it should feel, 
To be at the top, amongst the best.
But not everyone can get there, 
It’s not a boulevard, a large square.
I’m sure I could live well, 
Being in the middle, 
Maybe I will have to work a lot
But the living will be enjoyable.
What is bad in being ordinary?
If I can live a life worth living, 
That should be enough for me.
I would thrive, and be glad.
