"Normal"
"Normal"?
What is "normal"?
They say "there is no normal"
But I think there is.
Because there is definitely not normal
I am not normal
Everything about me
Is not normal
The way I entered into the care system at age 14, and have been being bounced around it ever since
The way I lose time, and forget where I am, and wake up in strange places with injuries
The way people look at me as I wheel past in my chair, with pitying smiles and wide staring eyes
The way my family is
The way my heart is
The way my life is
None of this
Is normal
