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.

A Different Understanding

A conglomerate of death lives all around me. 
Life is not what it used to be. 
Dogs no longer run, fish no longer swim, my heart no longer beats. 
The white sheet is suffocating me. 
I used to see it fly in the wind, 
But it has captured me.
I have capitulated to its power.
I cannot help myself, 
No one can help me. 
The balance has broken. 
Life becomes death. 
I am gone, 
I have dissipated into nothingness. 
I am nothing. 
I was never anything.
I will be no more,
Just like I always have been.
