Normal
normal seems
the least abnormal term
I see it defined
often by those for whom madness
has wined and dined them
I see it as a badge
only worn
when we feel insecure
as if by finding it
it becomes a cure
I have been told
that I am not normal
but never a defined context
and the people telling me
were often something of a mess
normal seems the least abnormal term
to suggest otherwise, would be careless
