The Conventions of Normality

Normal. 
Just a word, 
Six letters, 
Yet so powerful. 

Normal. 
Suffocating the unique.
Destroying the unusual.
Submitting to society. 

Normal. 
Following friends.
Feeling fearful.
Frightening the foxes. 

Normal. 
Taking away abnormal. 
Straightening society. 
Creating the same.

Normal.
One word,
With so much depth.
One word to create a uniform world. 

Normality is overrated.
