Jade Ashlyn Poet Free verse

Normal

The definition of normal
Is conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.
When I was graduating fifth grade
All of my classmates were crying,
They were sad
To leave.
Leave the school
Leave their teachers
Leave their friends
I on the other hand
Was ecstatic, 
I couldn’t wait to walk off-campus and never look back
I didn’t shed a single tear,
And that's not,
Normal.
When I was graduating eighth grade
All of my classmates were crying,
They were sad
To leave.
Leave the school
Leave their teachers
Leave their friends
They were all taking pictures with their robes and saddened smiles
But, I on the other hand
Ran off that campus so fast
My only friend had to call me to come back
So, she could take a photo
I didn’t shed a single tear,
And that’s not,
Normal. 
Now, in 11th grade
I have no friends
I spend my lunches in the library
Reading, 
I read about
Other’s adventures
Other’s loves
Other’s lives
I can’t wait till I graduate.
I know I won’t shed a single tear,
And that’s not,
Normal.
I want to be normal
I want to have friends
I want to have my own adventures
My own loves
I want to live
But, 
I’m
Not 
Normal
So, maybe
I’ll always be stuck
Reading
Another’s
