Mary Taylor Poet Rhyme

What Is Normal

You say that I’m not normal 
You say that I am a little bit odd 
I know that I have weaknesses 
I know that I am flawed 

You say that I am crazy 
You say that I am quite insane 
But how can you really claim to know 
What is going on inside my brain? 

My views are not the same as
what you seem to believe 
I just see things differently 
Than the way that you perceive 

So, who are you to tell me 
That I am insane or not 
When you know nothing of 
the demons that I have fought 

Am I a deranged lunatic? 
Or perhaps a psychopath? 
Am I a madman who spews 
Their hatred, rage and wrath? 

Perhaps I’m the one that’s normal 
And everyone else has gone insane 
In which case, it will be  
From sanity that I will abstain.
