I was reading a dating profile...

 

"I wish I could find someone normal"

She says

 

I'm normal

I'm heternormal 

Heterosexual

Young, Male, Middle class, White, Just normal

Not a minority - too normal 

No label - just normal 

People see me and just think "normal"

Too normal

I don't stand out - Abnormally normal

 

"Someone fun but normal"

She says

 

I'm fun

I'm funny

I'm a fun guy

With a toe covered in fungi

Your clothes would get flung high

While I passed on my fungi

I jest

I'm not just fun like a normal guy

I'm the best

I don't think or act like every guy

I'm a bit different I guess, to other guys

But I'm normal

 

"Why are there so many freaks?"

She says

 

I'm not a freak

I'm unique

I'm kind of a geek

I like antiques

I'm confident - I'm just meek

I'm slim, but I'm not weak

I draw and paint every week

I over critique

I go to this group where we speak

So, I'm different, but I'm normal... If you know what I mean.

 

"There must be one guy out there who hasn't got any problems??"

She says

 

I've not got a problem 

I tend to overcome 'em

I take them down; I hobble 'em

Until it's not a problem

Give me risks and I gobble 'em

Solutions - I can cobble 'em

Unless I'm hurt - That can be a problem

It throws me off my thread

It gets stuck in my head

It throws me off my thread

I lose track of what I was thinking

"Why did she say that?"

It throws me off my thread 

"That's not me is it?"

It gets stuck in my head

"Why do they think that?"

It throws me off my thread 

"Am I meant to change?!"

It gets stuck in my head

"I don't want to be that anyway!!"

It throws me off my thread 

"Why are we all meant to act the same?!"

It gets stuck in my head

"What's wrong with discussing it?"

It throws me off my thread 

"I don't understand!"

It gets stuck in my head

"I want to know why you think that!"

It throws me off my thread 

"Just fuck off!"

 

Next profile reads

"I'm looking for someone different. Let's take time and get to know each other."

 

I need to stop over thinking stuff.
