Never Normal

there is no normal Brenda..so you are very normal in that way....just my blood group puts me in less than 2% of the population...and there's so much more...this isn't advice just a tickle to take your mind of things...tickle tickle....:)

Lawrence

thank you dearest Lawrence
for the tickle you always bring me smiles :)

love Brenda

I agree with the above comment. I feel like nobody is completely normal. You just have to be your own normal. Amazing and thoughtful piece. Many hugs to you crim!!

thank you beautiful Eswaller for showing me love tonight..

you are cherished..

love Crim

An outstanding write with only one flaw that I caught.
Dieties should be Diety's.
But regardless of that, such poeticism, even for a poem. Reminds me of some of my own warped thinking.
My question to you, is that if these drugs alter thinking that is already warped, do you then become normal?
Food for though,
~M

thank you dearest Midnight
for spotting that error
they probably don't make my thinking normal
rather put me out of my pain
how be it temporarily at not being normal..

your presence and thoughts are deeply appreciated..

love Brenda

Yes you become normal...as long as you dont do to much.....and you are perfect already....

thank you beautiful Whipped
I actually indulge in something originally
prescribed for depression in the old days..

it really does work in small doses
to going a long way to making me feel normal and happy..

I deeply appreciate your presence on my pages :)

love Crim

your feelings are quite normal....everyone lives on an island surrounded by other souls

we are alone and never alone
love
Jeff

and don't worry about the chemicals...they are just the ritual ...your mind goes where it wants too...it is always just you thinking...

love always and forever  
Jeff

thank you dearest Jeff for the love and understanding
i'm freest in my thinking when I have help..

I need to write or I will combust
they help me to do that
though it is true the mind wanders where it will..

I deeply appreciate and cherish you..

love Crim

your truth sense is very powerful
always in motion even when you  don't want it to be
the pain is a reminder...
shit ain't right on this sphere..
no room on my RL til i get my food stamps..
then this is mine's

thank you dearest Soul Soldier
it is indeed it makes navigating this world difficult
but i'm grateful for the ability to tap into the otherworldly and the universe..

yes the pain reminds us
the things we ache for and can't yet have..

I'm honored you wish this for your wall :)

you're deeply appreciated...

love Crim

Captured so eloquently, Crimsin.  Felt like you crawled in my head with this.  

"the flavor of my pain  
I'm told is very tasty"

Love that line.  

Embrace these unique fractures.  Perfection is a myth.

thank you graciously Tender One for embracing me on this write and for some sound advise..

love Crim

You always manage to enthrall me with your honesty, intensity and the skill of your work, Crim.  "Normal" is a relative term.  I know I don't fall within the standard definition.  Maybe we should be proud!

thank you dearest Sir Crow thanks to you and other poets today I feel proud :)

love Crim

Even the most broken of pieces can be mended...you are loved dear lady. <3

thank you beautiful Mysterious One
for the loving comment..

love Crim

I feel you sweet Brenda - I have never been normal neither do I hanker to be so. You are a great poet, normality does not create such :-)))))))

Huge Hugssssssssssssssss :-))))))))))))))

thank you dearest David
yes being normal is overrated :)

love and hugs..

Brenda

I have heard / seen it said :

"Some People Never Go Crazy ; What An
Absolutely Boring Life They Must Lead"

And in Gematria ( number / letter / word code ) :

Not Normal = 404 = Awakened

And remember , 404 , is what pops up when "File Not Found"

thank you dearest Wolf
for such an awesome quote
yes being mad at times is painful
but with it i've been gifted some awesome visions..

you are deeply appreciated..

love Crim

thank you dearest John for the beautiful thoughts.. yes true beauty is hidden there..

I deeply appreciate you..

love Crim

Beautiful Dark Angel, how do I compose a comment on this piece? So many thoughts you've provoked, and emotions. Your truth as you see it is astounding and beautifully accepting. I have a couple thoughts on that opening stanzas though. First: You are not an error. There is no mistake in your being, your existence. You are a beautiful soul both because of and as a result of your flaws. And I love you dearly. Second: None of us are perfect. That you can recognize your flaws, and articulate them is a testament to your strength of character and will. We all cope in our own ways with the things that pain us. Not everyone is as honest about their coping mechanisms though. I love you, gorgeous, so much

...ever your Willow

thank you beautiful Willow
for seeing the beauty in the pain
you are always deeply insightful
I look forward with anticipation
to how you will see a write
because you shine a light back at me..

I love seeing through your eyes
and I love you..

love Brenda

I can relate to every word of this, I don't know how most people can be so flaphappy, denial, maybe? I wish I knew they're secret to excelling at it.  Maybe they are faking it.. I like the ending..

thank you beautiful Poet yeah I just don't get the happy, happy, joy, joy people of the world..

love Crim

Lol I just thought of the cartoon, that was a funny and very accurate comparison actually..

i like this and i can truly relate .. so many times in my life i have felt to put it honestly '' unhappy ''  not feeling happy inside and hurting probably too much .. and when i feel like this i think of normal people and why can i not be like them .. yes, all those normally happy people who seem to have things going well so much of the time and they seem ok. its such a difficult thing when we are hurting so much of the time in our lives..
i'm glad even when i feel some sense of normality .. feelings of peace, calm , relaxation, ..but yeah i feel different to other people, too..

thank you beautiful Daffodil I read your poem and I know you get this write.. i'm only sad that you do lovely lady..

love Crim
