Why Can't I Be Normal?

Why Can't I Be Normal?

Why can’t I think like others?
Am I not like others?
I was born from a mother
Just like another
Then why am I not like another?

My hands are not like others
They won’t write like others
They can’t touch the same as others
They seem so small but seem to cause so much pain
Why can’t they be like others?

My mind is different in other ways
It’s happy when others cry
It cries when others are happy
It screams when others are excited
It rejoices when others torment in pain

This is not normal
So I ask myself
What is normal?
I look around myself
And ask myself, Can I truly be like them?

I look within myself
I don’t like what I see
The picture is not a pretty one to self
And the words written here do not seem to fit me
So I move on to find the better me
Searching and searching…
