NORMAL

A poem by Beverly Stock.

Perhaps abnormal is not so bad,

Ok, it often makes you mad.

Paranoia is quite difficult, too

Feeling someone’s after you.

Shyness seems to come and go,

Courage is often slow to grow.

Anxiety is the worst of all.

As you stand, you think you’ll fall.

It's fine to wish life was serene

But “Normal,” is just a cycle

ON YOUR WASHING MACHINE!
