Normal

 

What happened?
I wasn't sure if this was it
Who knows what this is about?
I don't like all of the screaming one bit

Why are you yelling?
Why is your face red?
I don't understand
All you did was wake me up from bed

Cause this is what happens
When you don't listen 
All you do is yell
My cheeks start to glisten
I wonder what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
This isn't normal
This is all brand new

This is crazy
I don't know what's wrong
This is like that movie
This is like that song

When the girl
She would always scream
No one ever liked her
Because she acted so mean

Cause this is what happens
When you don't listen 
All you do is yell
My cheeks start to glisten
I wonder what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
This isn't normal
This is all brand new

My eyes are drying up
Now that I've locked the door
It's deadly quiet
Now that I've locked the door

I'm not saying this was a surprise 
I knew it was on its way
But did it have to come so fast? 
Why did you say it was okay?

Cause this is what happens
When you don't listen 
All you do is yell
My cheeks start to glisten
I wonder what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
This isn't normal
This is all brand new

I thought you belonged to me
I thought you were mine
But I guess this is the result 
When I think everything is fine

It never ends well
It's always a mess
This definitely isn't normal

 

This is the opposite of being your best

 

I think it's over now

I think the screaming is done

It's all silent

And scary for everyone

 

Because this is not normal

    As you get older what is normal becomes more and more vague. It is more a matter of learning how to deal with the craziness around and in you in a productive way.
    From the poem I am not clear who is screaming at you, a friend, a parent? In any case sounds like they have anger management issues and this will be an on going problem. If this is a friend, time to move on! If it is a parent might consider moving out.

    I am not a fan of rhyming so take what I say with a grain of salt. I don't think the rhyming helps the drama of this poem. It reads sort of like a nursery rhyme which in my view trivializes what you are trying to portray. Thanks for the entry.

    PS
    In future lock the door before the screaming starts. Good luck.
