~What is normal and what is not normal? My guest blogger tries to determine this for herself.~
What is Normal
I sit, and I wait, and I try to think about what I can do to make myself normal
Or at least more acceptable
I could hang out with some friends
Go watch some tv and sit and chat
But I have to make sure I stay on topics that wouldn’t make me lie to feel like I fit in
That I feel the way they do about everything
Or something more than others
So maybe not that
What Should I Do?
Maybe I could go on a date
Sign up for a dating app
Oh no, that could be trouble
What if my friends find out I’m looking at
So no, not that
Ok, so I know what’s safe
Just go to bed and get some rest
But then, when I go to bed, my mind won’t shut off
And I’m stuck with the thoughts that I’m trying to ignore.
When I get here
This is when it gets ugly
This is when the spiral goes down
This is when I try to hurt myself
