Sometimes I need to remind myself
it’s okay
to be strange
awkward antisocial on a different planet in my own world
I get that a lot
so much that sometimes I wonder what it looks like
to be living amongst others
normal physical spiritual economical intelligent paying rent and
have a shiny resume too
feet down
grounded in a reality created by others
how tiring
how utterly boring
having to climb down my fluffy cloud to explain my weird ways
to people who want everyone to be just like them because
it is the only right way to behave
