Miles From Normal

I stopped being a kid

The day you sent me there to die

Emotions boiling to the brim

I said not a word though it cost me my life

Holding in these problems with a smile

I am miles from normal

Oh, but the fire went wild

I wear black not because it is

I wear black for the poor and beaten down

I wear black for those like me across the towns

The people who smile to hide something horrible

The people who are miles from normal
