Normal is conforming to a certain standard, doing what is conventional and expected.
Whatever the majority of people are doing around you is automatically projected
Into who you think you should be, and if you aren’t, it’s somewhat wrong,
Seen as a surprise when everyone else doesn’t see you following along,
Because what’s normal seems to be a fixed image within our minds
When in fact the definition has always been written through blurred lines.
It’s forever changing; the norm was so different years ago to what it is today –
Even 50 years ago normality couldn’t be further away…
The way we used to dress, behave and even talk.
Most youngsters today would rather take an uber than walk.
Kids never felt the pressure to set their statuses on ‘likes’ –
They were too busy playing in the park with their friends on their bikes.
This has all changed now, meaning the word ‘normal’ can be modified;
It can be revamped at any time, 99
But why wait for everyone else to decide?
You can do it, make it whatever you want it to be, something that reflects you…
Whatever makes you thrive and be happy, that’s what you should do –
Dye your hair luminous pink, knit or eat out on your own,
Not drink alcohol or have social media lighting up your phone.
Perhaps you want to walk down the aisle in something bright blue?
Well, I think you should go for it, because that’s what normal is for you.
