Always Normal

She wails with the voice of a siren,

Beating upon my batter’d walls of sanity.

And yet I must be

Normal, Always Normal!

She bleats and lies,

Distorting truth like rocks in tortured canyon walls,

And all of this is

Normal, Always Normal!

I go to win bread,

Yet must be there at the whisper of need.

I am and am not

Normal, Always Normal!

She challenges reality

Confusing me beyond my reason

For friends I must be

Normal, Always Normal!

All is black

All is white

I am not grey, yet I am

Normal, Always Normal!

You are alone,

Even when we are together.

Why must I be

Normal, Always Normal!

I am your savior,

I am Satan.

I am

Normal, Always Normal!

Your need an endless black hole of night yearning to be filled,

I fill the hole, endlessly emptying myself.

Projecting to the world, as

Normal, Always Normal!

You maim yourself,

And I protect.

Creating the picture of

Normal, Always Normal!
