Not Normal

Sometimes I wonder how I walk among people,
I ponder on how I can contain my thoughts and emotions,
It is difficult to understand the complexity of my mind.

Sure it would be simple to just come right out and say it,
It would be easy to just communicate the ideas that roll in my head,
However this is not normally the case.

That person over there, I could say "Hello, how are you?",
Do you know what I say instead? Nothing,
I just watch them walk by like a leaf in the wind.

You see, what's normal for me isn't normal for others,
It is as if I had my own tongue ripped out,
People give me fear and that fear is more powerful and influential to me than the normal pressures of social normalities.

I have terror by talking to another human being,
The normal terrors of most people come from deadly psychopaths,
I wouldn't be so afraid that the psychopath was deadly, just that he may talk to me and that would kill me more than his knife.

So sure, it's simple to talk to others and have a conversation,
It's normal,
And I have come to the conclusion that that is something I am not.
