Normal

You grow up and realize something
What one has another does not
What he believes she may not
Everyone has their own definition of normal
Screaming and rage may be apart of theirs, but not yours
Some full of love
And others not so much
Lies may have ripped some apart
Secrets that remain hidden and others out may fill ones
Loss that made some lose hop and hate the world
My normal is not normal
It consists of lots of love
Jokes and pestering show it
Protectiveness proves it
This normal is mine and may or may not be yours
But what exactly is normal?
Is it red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks,
Times when some cried till no more tears came?
Or is it the "perfect" family?
A married mother and father who love each other and their children,
Or are divorced families normal these days?
Maybe I don't want to be your normal
And I want to be mine
Beach nights and all-nighters, full of laughter
Photo adventures and movie nights
Odd clothes that express how I'm feeling that exact day
Dorky glasses that serve no purpose
One day your normal could be odd or strange
And the next day mine could be the right way
Normal is never normal
Maybe you hate your normal,
Look on the brightside
Normal is always changing
