Define normal:

Cookie-cutter

Carbon copy

Boxed in

Polite, smile, nod

Cross your legs

Stand up Straight

Sit down

Shut up

Know your place

Do as you’re told

Don’t talk back

Do not question

Do not think

Accept, Resign, Submit

 

I do not fit that mold

I ooze across the baking sheet

Spill out of that box

I argue, cry, shake my head

I slouch and lean

I am not silent

I rebel, (did I mention I argue?)

I think lovely and radical thoughts

I question everything

Including your idea of “normalcy”

So please accept my apology if I do not resign myself to your definition

I submit to no one
