Not Normal

What is normal? 

I have skin, eyes to see, a nose to smell, a mouth to eat, ears to hear the songs I love. 

Normal but feel like extraterrestrials from above. 

I yearn to travel to places I have never seen. 

Will I feel normal when I go across sea? 

I understand people more than most. 

Because of that I observe and seem invisible like I'm a ghost. 

I dress pretty normal for a lady. 

Put mismatching socks slouchy hat maybe. 

My eyes are big, honest, and kind. 

Maybe normal isn't a thing I can find.

Unique as I am is beautiful too. 

At least I'm genuine, yes it's true. 

I love chasing sunsets like a gypsy. 

Nature calls making me shifty. 

I see through people and know their heart. 

I'm sensitive not normal and accepting myself is a start. 

I'm creative, an artist, a writer, a poet. 

At least I am me and I know it.
