Minority

You slowly walk down the avenue of normality Ignoring the side streets and oddly placed alleys Change, you feel, is strange and unnerving You stay straight and narrow, no veering or swerving You look at us weirdos and our strange machinations you speed up your pace with much trepidation You're so busy keeping to the road that's more traveled that you are completely unaware that it's turning to gravel You're walking alone, and the road has all but decayed the streets that you passed up, now bustling highways Your fear of the odd and peculiar, the offbeat uncommon has led you to become alone, forlorn, and unwanted Everyone's different Everyone's weird Everyone has secrets that no one will hear You wanted to be normal, and normal you are now you're a minority, among the bizarre
