Just

Just be normal.

Just fit in.

Just face your fears.

Just confess your sin.

Just be perfect.

Its easy, look.

Just make more money.

Just learn to cook.

Just stop having nightmares.

Just stop being weird.

Just lose some weight.

See, its easy dear.

Just pick up the pieces of your broken self

Sew them together

Et Viola.

Now curtsy and bow.

Be graceful please.

Tuck in your tummy.

Straighten your knees.

Now if you have feelings please keep thwm to yourself.

They are your problem,

Not those of someone else.

Be invisible.

Stand up straight.

You're embarrassing me.

Lose some weight.

Be smart.

Be grateful.

Shut up.

Don't be hateful.

Sure I'll Just...do that.

Are, you serious?

Am I mentally ill

Or are you delirious?

I just want to be me,

Whoever that is.

I'm not evil.

I promise.

As for being weird.

Yes, I guess I am.

I have good intentions though.

Isn't that what counts Ma'am?

No ordinary people have ever changed the world,

Besides I didn't as to grow up in World War 3.

I didn't ask for the redicule, the punishment or the ptsd.

I'm just trying to be the best me that I can

and sometimes my best is just to keep breathing man

So back-off. Stop being so judgemental please.

All I ever wanted was to be a normal person

To do good in the world, to love and be loved,to cherish and be cherished, to go on grand adventures and maybe even laugh.

I'm sorry I lost the stars from your eyes

I thought you understood me from the inside.

But whatever you do just please don't leave

All I want is totalk, to connect, to breathe

Is that so very wrong of me?
