Wondering Thought

Walking in the rain, feels like freedom running 
Thunder in the night, knocking on your window 
Sleeping way past noon, stays up late every night 
Glimmer of the eyes, relax and rest your mind 
Shadows across the wall, yet not at all afraid 
Can’t sleep a wink, guess I'll jog out in the storm 
Even though you know, but still don’t understand
Surrounded by beauty, blinded by our phones
Why ask questions, that always go unanswered 
Society said obey, nope the world is my playground 
Probably angry with me, lets be friends anyway
People have each other, I'm completely alone
Most go one direction, I’m going the other way
I'm told act like them, forget it I'm not normal

Love that first line, just seems a bit magical. So if that's what not being normal is, then we should all give it a try. Nice poem.
