Little Child

“Little child, take this thing.”
“But I’ve already got……”
“Shh… You need this too… take it. If you don’t take it every one will say that you’re mad.”

“I have it now and it’s chained to my heart. It can only be broken at the weakest link, which is in the heart itself, then I will die…. I close my eyes to everything but the music and the words of the songs and pretend that the “thing” isn’t there.”
Now there’s too much of this blinding, alien substance. It overpowers me so. It makes MY world unreal and distorts and threatens my existence.
I don’t feel very safe now……………People call me bloody mental because I wont accept it.
DO NOT OFFER ME THIS GIFT ……disguised as something light and pretty. Something you think I must have just because you already have it and accept it, because I know the monster that comes with it forces me to live my life as others would expect me to be and not as I really am……..Is normality a gift?”….
………….I am not mad for refusing it……….I am not bloody stupid for wanting to be myself.

It is normal to want the things that normal people have………….If my blood and mind are not of normal structure then normality is poison to me…….
Oh…….don’t you know what I mean?……
If you don’t know……….then you are nothing to me. You are probably normal and poison to me…………
