The Cost of Normal

A quiet rebellion against fitting in.

The cost of normal is too high.
You must fit in to the world,
You must live up to my expectations,
You must do this to succeed,
Who makes up these rules?

The cost of normal makes no sense.
You have to be dress like this,
You have to follow this path,
You can only like what is acceptable,
Who decides what is right?

The cost of normal causes woes.
You begin to understand,
You begin to acknowledge,
You begin to leave things unsaid,
Who gets to see the real you?

The cost of normal is sacrifice.
You have to conform,
You have to lose inner peace,
You have to lose your identity,
Who thinks its worth it?

I do, 
     I do, 
          I do, 
              I don't.
