All These People Labelled
all these people labelled
different…
eccentric…
‘not the norm’
behaviour –
determined before they were born
i suspect –
they are true individuals
are you?
is the fear of so called abnormal
just a reflection –
of a person who is happy with themselves
what others call, ‘odd’
is how some of us actually float and bob
different…
‘not normal’
who are they to suddenly define, ‘normal’
i suspect –
that these people are true to themselves
and not afraid of who they are
and they are not so scared of their self
are you?
tell me now, are you true to yourself?
