Wake up
Go to school
Play sports
Do homework
Eat dinner
More homework
Go to sleep.
Everyday the same thing
Why is it always the same?
It's so
Normal.
But normal is not who I am.
Growing up 9402 miles from where I was born.
Traveling the world.
My best friend is Pakistani.
And yet
Everyday,
The same thing.
School
Sports
Homework
Dinner
Ever so normal
And yet
Not so normal.
Monkeys hanging from trees
Snakes on the field
Lizards on the walls
More monkeys in the pool.
So normal
And yet...
Is there such thing as normal?
Or is normal different
For each individual?
But then there is no normal.
And yet it's the same
For students around the world
Wake up
Go to school
After school activities
Do homework
Eat dinner
More homework
Sleep.
So normal
And yet
So different for each
And every person.
