Normal? Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

Someday things will go back to normal
But really what does that mean?
Normal is in the eye of it's beholder
At least that's what I have seen

Is normal a house, a job, a family?
Or is it just a state of mind?
When I feel completely at peace
That is the normal that I can find

Stability is something I've never had
But something always in dreams
Knowing where I'm going and when
Yet it end up further then it seems

When things seem just peachy
A rock drops in my lap
Followed by an avalanche
Problems spewing from a tap

One day I'll be just fine
Until then I try to keep my spirits lifted
Smiling and acting like there is nothing wrong
While my mind and body feel like they've been sifted.
