Heavy hearts Heaving chests Tired thoughtsLonging eyes Busy lines Silenced lips All is well It’s all normal They call it normalcyWe call it life Occupied lands
Cookie Cutter! Cookie Cutter!
Everywhere I look, it’s Cookie Cutter!
This color’s in.
Those shoes are out.
I want to break the mold
My desire is to be bold
I long for individuality
Why do I hide
Afraid of what they will say
With their bright false smiles
Why do I try
To make myself like them
Even when I don't want to
Why do I laugh
When inside I cry
Everyone thinks that popular is normal Everyone thinks that pretty is normal Everyone thinks that normal is normal
Why are we all not normal?
They say you can't do it, your brain isn't right.
She just looks at them and smiles with her bright innocent eyes.
They say you don't have what it takes, you can't be normal.
When I look around
I see conformity.
We try to be the same
to maintain
a sense of normalcy
but it just constricts
our voices.
The world is closing in
around us,
They presume themselves great
They see themselves as masters
Twisting words to their design
It doesn't work that way
It sounds hollow to the tormented
And they can't help but question
"Who are you
