Mother was in denial,
Pretending that I wasn't going to grow up
In a normal world,
To be a normal man,
To meet normal people,
And to make normal friends.
To go to normal schools,
to not care about homework
...but that was always normal.
To have a normal attitude
"Things will always work".
To make a normal GPA.
To not know what to do.
To send himself away,
the way normal people do.
Off to some normal war,
to off some innocent men.
Off to watch some friends off themselves
because of some normal
God-awful feelings.
Then back to his normal home,
to tell his normal self
and all his normal friends
or whats left of them,
that everything's back to normal.
To live in a normal world of uncertainty
being told it's normal to lack clarity
for the rest of a normal life.
To live for a normal death,
then die fighting the normal fight.
