       I'm not normal.
  I'm not like everyone you see calmly walking down the streets.
    I don't have a normal story like they do.
    I don't have a nice face, I don't have a nice car like them and certainly a lover like they do.
    If you saw me you'll carry on to continue your story for another day.
    You'll forget all about me.
   My story is not normal
  My life certainly isnt
The things I've witnessed with make a normal person tremble in fear.
   My eyes look normal but the stories they've seen hold a thousand tears that have been shed.
I may Look normal but trust me, I'm not.
   Yet I wonder
If you saw me as I see myself, broken and alone with nothing at all, would you help me?
Or would you help the me that's clean and has decent clothes? Or even if I had a "decent" home would you dare
Stay longer to feel the pain ive felt?
It's all strange
It's strange how I pass you every day, with  a single smile and a simple nod of the head, would you dare enter my domain?
It's strange how people say things as easily as admiring beauty, but when the time to act upon those words arise, would you do it?
It's strange when I see how a normal person treats another human being with such disgrace, it makes me sad for the world.
It's strange how I've been in spots no normal adult would dare be in with out going mad and yet I have.
It's strange that I have been in those things but to me, it's everyday normality.
It's strange if I told you that me, a witness, is not an adult but something else.
Something you wouldn't think twice.
Something that would shock you and leave you feeling cold to the core
It's strange that I am...

A child
A woman
Your friend
A baby

It's strange how I can be anyone with eyes that has seen it all.
It's  Strange how I can walk pass you and you won't ever to think about the luxuries you have.

It's strange indeed. -AC
