Eliminate 'Normal'
First day of school
The time to see how everyone has changed
His voice cracked!
Her hair is blond!
She gained weight!
He's taller!
They started dating?
Look at her clothes!
It makes me wonder
What's said about me?
Have I changed
Or am I the same
Everyone always judges others
But have you judged yourself
I'm positive you haven't
'Cause if you had
You would realize what everyone says
Behind your back
And you would feel hurt
Possibly angry at yourself
But would you stop talking
Gossiping behind their back
Would you only speak of the good things
And to their face?
Would you stop your friends
From gossiping and judging
Or would you let them
Would you smile and nod
And pretend you agree
If you do, then I suggest
Listen to them
Behind your back
And watch as you hear
Everything they hate about you
Come out into the open
And note everything they noted
Add it to your self image
I bet you, after that
You will look in a mirror
And see what they see
And be surprised
Something you like, they hate
Something you adore, they scorn
And you will change, who you are
To fit their view
For those who don't,
Congratulations!
You don't fit the form
You will see what they see
And not care
You will believe
That you are, who you are
And you don't have to change it
To fit in
If enough people
In enough places
Stand out and proud
And show how they differ
Maybe we could eliminate 'normal'
