Normal

Disregard that diffident feeling
stand up for yourself
don't be a doormat for people healing
do what makes you excel

stop covering your appeal with the physical
let it shine from the inside
that will present you gorgeous without being quizzical
you'll have nothing to hide

when there's nothing to do 
don't do anything
doldrums should never enter your pew
that takes care of everything

always realize you're not strange
even if you're different from your peers
although we may receive a reaction that is estrange
we're all normal when it clears

Hello Angela … very wise advice indeed. We’re only abnormal when others have taken a different road - thank you Angela - Lindsay

Dear Angie, your beautiful self-empowering poem is adorned with lovely, thoughtful lines and amazing rhymes like; physical/quizzical. Everyone's normal is unique yet, in the end everyone's normal is the same. Your potent pen is expressive and impressive, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

You certainly talk with sense, Angela. Personally, I'm not interested in being something special; I'm happy being just a normal person as long as I'm left in charge of my personality, living life as I see fit:) Regards // paul

Interesting title and theme, yet life is the norm, but then there is always someone, that wants to change things, from the child to the despot. Love the poem, it matters and that's important.

Too much of a cliché to say life is what you make it. Sometimes normalcy is a tad difficult. ~~
