“WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE NORMAL” screamed my mom 
	I  back up to the door. “maybe because I'm not normal and I will NEVER be” I said my voice strong. I was done taking her shit. 
	“yes, your not normal and you're worthless” 
	I felt the tears pull at my eyes. I backed up towards the door and put my hand to the door nob.
