Weird vs. Normal

*/yes, my peeps from LA last semester will know this is old...but it still deserves 2 go on the site!\*

Weird vs Normal

People think

I’m weird

But what is that really?

What

Is weird?

Is it different,

odd,

strange?

Who decides what’s weird

And what’s not?

Maybe weird is just not normal

But then

What is normal?

Is popular normal?

Is majority normal?

Is WEIRD normal?

And if it isn’t

Describe what is

Hollister shirt

and Abercrombie jeans?

That’s what the majority wears

But

Is that normal?

How can we say what

is weird

Without comparing it to normal?

Maybe it’s not looks

It’s what we do.

In that case,

Weird is something not done before

If it is new

and original

Then why does society shun weird?

They make is sound as if it isn’t good

Just because eggnog

And cereal

Is not usually done,

Does that make it

Bad? Is it

“Weird?”

Why not turn the tables

Lets live a day where the weird is normal.

Then who is the weird one?

I suppose it’s personal preference.

But

Who’s preference?

So many

Questions

With so few definites

Can we

Really label

Someone or thing weird

When we don’t know what

Weird is in the first place?
