Normality Poems

PURE NORMALITY



         

EVERYTHING IS NORMAL

The backwater
dreams is catching the winds
to become a whirlwind again...

The past daydreams
of recovering time
to live the present...

Rest
revels in silence
to replenish energy...

the night shines, the stars
with the sleeping rays of the sun
borrowed for free...

Pain heals,
when the scars dry
and become just memories...

Premium MemberIn this dream of normality, where everything seems a mask

In this dream of normality, where everything seems a mask, an illusion surrounding us,
I lose myself in thoughts, like a river flowing without direction through the fog that separates us.
Normality, a social construct, an impossible ideal to reach,
A story told by those who do not dare to ask "who am I" and "what do I

Normality

Do you ever wish you could be 
another face in the crowd 
that fades from everyone’s memory
blending in like brushstrokes on canvas
catching no one’s attention or mention
Just a mundane man among the many 
laughing a bit too loud in the pub upon
hearing a bawdy joke you found funny
Oiling a squeaky door hinge or
repairing a kitchen

I Can Hear the Rain Old Edinburgh Town

Arthur's seat sits hidden by the cloak of night, his head up in the clouds. 
Princes Street lies empty, no royals, no life, no crowds. 
Nelson stands neglected, having made a monumental mistake. 
Charlottes' going square without new books to articulate. 
St Giles has closed his doors to weary pilgrim seeking refuge. 
The Palace has

Shadows of Madness

I take the pill and deep I go,
Where deep wishes and passions flow
Unbidden by the morals of the common world,
Inside my mind, in the netherworld,

I bear witness to tremors of ecstasy,
To love, power and impunity,
Where rape and slaying is normality,
Desire, passion is totality.

Scary emotions overcome me
My own history of reality is insanity
The end of the

Normality 

The science saved the day, again
No Frankenstein theatrics
Or headless brain 

The villagers chase, not to fork or to prod
No burning torch, crucifix 
Or running prayers to God 

And while we applaud with no sense of reserve
The white coated wonders 
And those who deserve 

Part of me Hopes, as the lightning strikes
That our eyes flicker

Premium MemberA New Normality

The sky is the limit to what can be said of 2020, what it has brought us and how we are responding or reacting to it.  i.e., There's this notion of "getting back to normal". Suffice it to say that me thinks that 2020 has dispatched most forms of what was normal and smashed

Real Normality

Tis’ was a frightful night,
For all set sail on the ship Delight.
All men both heavy and frail
Took pleasure as the only detail.

Tis’ was a frightful night, 
For all set sail on the ship Delight.
For they’ve not known the storm to be,
The clouds mighty, and strong the sea.

For all the sun’s light was swallowed up,
The overcast

Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins

Knee lynching streamed live,
Shadowed death’s source is revealed;
Justice remains blind!

Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed 
source.
Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of
live murder.
Oppressive actions of intentional racialism
unveiled;
Yet, lynched justice remains dangling on the
tree of life.

In oppression, when freedom fires flare-up,
Executive ordered murderers begin shooting;
Revealing despotic authority racialism controls.
With the support

Normality

The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been
You miss your friends and family a hug is what you need 
We craze the company of others  our normal routine

A trip down the cinema to see a new release on the big screen 
and for this virus to release us and for us

Normality

ills of academic hordes...
  sought to lampoon the rest 
 into robotic construct 

notable exploits ~wings of creativity~ 
 via abnormality
certainty of hordes' unquizz 
  fore they conceal 

wee might in twilight’s hour 
 meager lab’s florescent 
shine dimly against darkness peep 
 of night starry

Normalcy

I’m happy in my cage
the gold it shines so bright 
can’t differ or astray 
from thoughts within my mind

They help me to conform 
they help me to be free
until the night it comes
lights up monstrosities 

Thoughts keep me from myself
they’re keeping me from you
oh where oh where am I
but hiding in the blue 

You’ll see

Conceptualized Normality

-Society's view of the normal person is so far off that I am yet to meet a single person that has told me that they are this normal we speak of. Nobody meets the unwritten requirements of this conceptualized normality that we use so loosely. This normal is a powerful stipulation whose crutches enable negative

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.

Normality Station

As I walk through the turmoil of ADHD
I wonder to myself, why did it have to be me?
what happened to me as a child?,
to make me feel so wild?
why cant I control my mouth and my brain?, 
why do I feel I'm going insane?
south Londoners will call me 'chicken oriental!' 
professionals will argue, 'hereditary' or
