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
