Why Can't I Be Normal?

They say sometimes in life you’re born with nothing

Since the beginning I’ve been determined to get something

There’s a lot of goals that I do want to accomplish

There’s so many things in the world that I missed

I may drive you crazy with the things that I want to do

I’m a man with a dream, I’m just hoping to get that soon

It’s time to forge my own path in life

I just want to make things right

Change my personality, change my ways

This is the path that I truly want to take

Don’t have a car so it’s hard to go find myself

If someone knew how much pain that I felt

Knowing that I’m not part of the world and stuff

I hate staying inside all day, I really had enough

 

 

I didn’t put this on my blog for sympathy

Even though I never got the amount that I need

I may be envious and yeah I mave greed

Respect is all I ever do want to recieve

I won’t settle for anything less, want to make it big

Enough being isolated because it’s making me tick

Mother’s intimidations is keeping me locked up

Laying on the living room couch like I’m knocked up

Waiting for the moment where I could finally lace up my boots

Where I can open the front door and tell my mom “see you soon”

Yeah I like girls and I’m hoping to get one

Don’t want to go through life with none

With the life I’m living I feel like I’m dead

Being outgoing is all that’s stuck in my head

 

 

Most kids my age are doing a lot of stuff

With my lifestyle I really just can’t adjust

Don’t feel like I’m alive, says so on my myspace

I don’t know how much pressure I can really take

Got a dude in college living the kid life

Having fun with people during the night

Another dude with a job earning money

While I’m stuck with nothing, kinda funny

I wasn’t born to do nithing with my life

Yeah I’m desperate I’m not gonna lie

I don’t want to be in my 50’s living this way

I’m sick of my dreams being put on delay

I’m sick of dreaming, I wanna live life

I’m told to be patient but time is tight

I ain’t gonna stay young forever that’s thing

So amped up about the future that I don’t think

Waiting for the rescue ladder to come to my window

I want live life normal you know, it’s just really simple

 

 

But I probably won’t get that because I’m autistic

So I’m limited to my choices that’s so sadistic

Being stuck with people on wheelchairs kinda clueless

Don’t hate those kids so don’t think of me as a big ******

And I know they can’t help it but that’s not my kind of crowd

Don’t want to be limited to those kind of people that’s how I feel now

Don’t want people to think those are the only friends I can make

I just want to be a normal people is all I ask for goodness sake

Don’t think of me as a kid who can’t control his emotions

I maybe a kid who has a hard time keeping things in focus

Because of this, mother doesn’t think I can drive

Not even letting me go ahead and give it a try

No way I’m relying on the bus to get around

Because I’m tired of always being let down

Hurts to have a lot of people have a lot of doubt

And to think that you shouldn’t even be out

 

 

What’s wrong with living simple that’s all I want

It’s all I’ve been working for all I want to saught

Willing to go through anything just to get it

My goal I have still not yet really met it

What’s wrong with being normal that’s what I desire
