I will never understand why

‘Normal’ is the gold standard. We were 

Not born to live the same lives as everyone else and 

Then die with nothing unique to show for it. 

 

Give me loud, bright hair,

Tattoos of pure art that cover your skin,

Laughter too boisterous for the atmosphere.

Give me your weird dances, ugly faces, 

Raw emotion and guttural pain. 

I want to see it all. 

 

To be human is to be different. 

If that wasn’t the case why aren’t 

We just clones of each other, robots 

Instead of free-will-driven people? 

 

Why should we try to change that?
