Everyday I see them, acting so normally, Wishing I could be them, little do I see
That I am unique, being who I be, No one drags me down, they can't contain me

I'm not normal

I wish I could embrace, the person that I feel, How come I can't face it, trying to make me real, Is it even possible, to be so true, It's hard you know, because it is difficult to do

I'm not normal

Maybe I've been, looking at this wrong, There could be, a person to become, He is hiding, deep inside of me
I just need to find him, then I'll soon be, A strong teenage boy, against all odds, Someone who fights, to get what he wants
