The society that defined normality to us. Yet who is the society? Yet I did not define normal can somebody declare to have defined normal? who is he?
I believe in learning things in order excel in them. But the reality of life is that life's lessons has no coach-no editor. life is made up of three things, and those are going to school, getting married, and children-with that come settling in a nice home and having a Job.
How many people can master the art? the art of being a perfect society. And just how much are you subjected to have this. People will be looking at you to master the art, and actually hoping you don't succeed. Simply because they all know in their minds, everything is not always what it seems to be. It doesn't make sense to have a life as expected by the society. Who is the society? Do we live to conform to the standards of the society's normality ratio. More than anything most of us wants to live this way, how else else can we live? and who are we to change the world? what could happen to us if we choose our own path? is it "healthy" as they put it not to have kids and be married.

We are expected to have the same concept of feelings.
Depression over retrenchment, loss of loved ones, being abused, aids victims. You are supposed to be mad or angry or depressed. We treat all feelings as normal to have. Is it normal to just accept and just not care? just because in the mist of our troubles we are expected to break down, should we do it?. The world expects us to break down at some point, but what God expect is for us to truly believe in him at this point. Believe in his presence and to leave things on his hand and just not to worry. God doesn't expect us to break down at some point but he expects us to go down on our knees and pray.. like the pain is not there, but just

They say not to judge a book by it's cover
They say not to bother
Her uniqueness is a fault
She's not normal
She shouldn't read

Now inside my mind the land of dead
No more monsters in my dreams
Instead life falls apart at
