Normal

I have this cloud that follows me, I have this cloud that noone wants to see. It's all in your head Nothing major can be done. So suck it up Get on out and have some fun. But they can't see the demons in my head - Scratching Clawing Biting. The demons want me dead. But they don't care, They don't want to know What is under my skin, They just want me to smile And pretend tht I fit in. Another appointment, Another prescription, Another bottle of pills. Saftey pin a smile on my face So everyone else feels comfortable While my world slowly collapses And I fall from grace. But the world must go on, Everything done so formal. I wish I could take the bottle And one by one eat my pink freedom But that just wouldn't be right - Oh no- Heaven forbid I don't act like I'm NORMAL!!

This is so good, so powerful, so absolutely gut wrenchingly honest. Heaven forbid indeed. My own demons tip their hat to you Ashley xomo
