In this who’s who world will I ever measure up
To the blueprint of the media
To the sketch of society
Can I ever be all that I can be.
What if Im a few feet short of normal
Would I be looked upon as….abnormal?
What is normal?
Abnormal?
Could you be both and still live as the world wants.
If I wanted to be president would the world change
In this sex driven world how would I be seen
A woman
Or a whore.?
Life is but dream awaitingreality
What is your drive?
What is your push?
In a third world country
People starve and people die
If it was here would you be more willing to help
Out of mind out of sight serve you justice?

A new sense of reality
Has just over come
my very being.

You should not have to live up to the world's expectations. Never try. It will only lead you into craziness. Only live up to what you want or think is great. Also, being abnormal is what makes the world great. If you were like every one else, would it not be boring? If everyone lived as everyone else wanted, would the world not be boring?
