(not)normal

What is normal?
A disquise we make in our minds
A coating to hide our fear of differences
Or maybe a rule book made by the man

No one is normal
no one is the same
It doesn't matter what you say
I love my differences the way they are

I am wierd
You are wierd
We are wierd they are wierd
They are wierd

That is why we must embrace our differences
Or else none of us are real people
normal is nothing to be proud of
Be yourself and live
