Normal

For as long as I can remember, I have been different from the people around me Things that they found to be so easy were a constant struggle for me to understand Now I know that my brain was always structured like that, from the start We can pretend all we want that people will fit in neatly in the mould chosen I might be different, but that doesn't make me wrong or mistaken "You should be normal", they keep on telling me, even when I try as hard as I can Why do I have to bang my head against the wall put up around me by others? This is might not be the life that I wanted, but it is the life I will always have It might not be how others view normal, even so, it will be good enough for me There are others like me, and we all face the same thing, the same kind of struggle Of people not understanding how it can be like to live with a brain that won't listen I might not be like everyone else, but that shouldn't determine my worth to you Go on and pretend that everyone is the same, but we will always be around I won't let you put me aside and act indifferent, I am here anyway "You should be normal", they keep on telling me, even when I try as hard as I can Why do I have to bang my head against the wall put up around me by others? This is might not be the life that I wanted, but it is the life I will always have It might not be how others view normal, even so, it will be good enough for me My mind is a constant cacophony of impressions and endless thoughts To you, it might look like I'm doing nothing at all, but that's not reality We live in a world where we no longer quite belong, it has simply moved on I don't need to be normal; I don't need to fit in, I only need to feel like I'm me If you remove everything that makes us unique, is that still called normal? "You should be normal", they keep on telling me, even when I try as hard as I can Why do I have to bang my head against the wall put up around me by others? This is might not be the life that I wanted, but it is the life I will always have It might not be how others view normal, even so, it will be good enough for me Don't think I can't hear you talk about what you think make me so difficult This is my reality and that will always be the case, no matter what happens "You should be normal", they keep on telling me, even when I try as hard as I can Why do I have to bang my head against the wall put up around me by others? This is might not be the life that I wanted, but it is the life I will always have It might not be how others view normal, even so, it will be good enough for me
