ANOTHER NORMAL

Normal is a mental fallacy of comfort; it is blindness to the confusion of every day.

We pull out a camera to prove the good we are, a good samaritan unaware of real pain.

Normal should be respect and kindness for others.

Diversity and inclusion in life to understand wrong from right

Normal is a concept that consistently changes for the social and political whores

Always wanting more grasping attention with every thoughtless post.

Normal should be knowledge and the understanding of what we can or can not see

Feelings overwhelming facts that feeling like a mental attack.

Normal is a comforting tradition lost is the original message consumed in greed.

Thinking what is true and free as many struggles to breath

Normal should be learning from the past to find the future. 

Explaining away the mistakes that are made, to feel comfortable in their hate

Normal is the comfort of living in a nation like it is home.

A feeling everyone should know.

NORMAL

What is normal?
A state of being comfortable.
I never consistently felt comfortable
Not here not anywhere

What is normal?
A standard of being consistent with what is trendy
The mom who wares yoga-pants to the mall pushing an empty stroller
No one even stairs

What is normal?
A state of being free from a physical or mental disorder
Who collects the rent for this cerebral room I am in
No longer the owner of my own thoughts

What is normal?
A state of being on a surface that measures to the degree of the one after it
The complicated structure just to control the atmosphere 
This place, this room, this chair who is really sitting hear

What is normal?
A state of being close to you when I am only six feet away
Something wrong with you and me that we can't see
The new normal is all that anyone can say
