The Dark Lonely Road

I have been down a road

A cold lonely road

Where there’s no other soul

And you find yourself all alone

Down that dark lonely road!

You feel you’re loosing your mind

And all you want to do is hide

But then there’s nowhere to go

From all this is happening in your mind

And no one knows what going on inside

You stand there and smile 

As if there’s nothing wrong outside

Though you’re in denial

Cause you want to seem normal outside

Though you’re dying a million death inside 

All you want to do is cry

Cause the pain you feel inside

Is eating you inside

Burning you, consuming you

Sending searing pain through your being

You just want to close your eyes and let go

To drift off to eternal sleep

Drifting down an abyss of no return

The world can be unkind

And turn a blind eye

Even though it may know

The pain you feel inside

May call you names and make fun of you

Labels you and trying your patience 

Making you feel like it revels 

In seeing you cry 

Leaving you broken, wounded, bleeding

But then the world is not always cruel

And will not always treat you a fool

Cause there are those who are kind

And try beyond the act you put on outside

They will make sure your never left behind 

Or all by yourself all alone

Remember after night comes day

Form darkness comes light

Cause there can’t be darkness all the time

At some point you’ll see the light

To banish all the dark that you feel inside

So don’t loose hope

You can never loose hope

There’s so much to live for 

There’s so much to give

So don’t ever give up 

You can never give up

Though you maybe tired and frustrated 

And the things don’t seem to go your way

But for every wrong can’t make right

And there’s going to be time 

When life will get it right

So don’t loose faith 

Cause good things will come your way

If you just hold on a little longer

Have a little faith

Help will always come 

To the ones who need it the  most

So just reach out and take that hand

That’s reaching out to you 

To pull you out of the mire 

You find yourself caught in 

Who throws you a lifeline 

When you feel that life 

will swallow you whole

You don’t have to go alone

There’s someone out there  for you

So you just have to reach out 

And take that hand

Acknowledge the pain you feel

You don’t have to hide it

You don’t have to fight it

You don’t have to feel 

Ostracised because of it

Believe, have faith

You cannot give in

You can never give in

There’s so much to live

So you can’t give up on it

Cause no matter how hopeless

You’ll always find a way

So believe and stand strong 

Cause you’ll make it through

Both you and I!

It’s OK to not be OK

What’s normal but a subjective term, cause what may seem normal to you may not be normal to someone else, and what may be normal to someone may not be normal to you. To the world you may not seem normal, and to you the world may not seem normal. So who is right and who is wrong? It’s you against the world!

Who defines what is normal? Who sets the parameters of what is normal and what is not? Who gets to decide, who gets to judge? They say, ok, according to the Book of Genesis, God created man in his own likeness, so when you decide to label as someone as not normal, do you mean God created something defective, something imperfect. When you label someone as not normal do you mean to say that God is not normal, after all we are created in his likeness. Perfection is overrated. No one is perfect and we are no one. So we are imperfectly perfect.

We are who we are meant to be. Conceived and created in the way we should be. So it doesn’t matter if your black or white, male or female, transgender, straight or gay, tall or short, fat or thin, young or old, your nationality, your religion, your orientation makes who you are meant to be. You’re beautiful in your own way cause remember god can make no mistake, cause if god made a mistake then who are we but mere humans.

We are meant to be different, we are meant to standout. We are our unique in our own quirky way. What fun would it be if we were just like the next person, conforming to what society terms as normal. No one can tell you that your not normal when they themselves may not be able to state what is normal. Society will never see the world as we do.  It’s our duty to help them see the world the way you do, may be a better world.

If someone laughs at you and call you names, join them, laugh with them, laugh at them, cause let’s face it, they are an ignorant cause they know not what they speak, cause their logic will frustrate you and their brains have taken leave. Be who you are, the way you are meant to be. Let no one tell you otherwise. Remember, it’s normal to not be normal. It’s ok to be not not ok.
