Regular

Regular

Why wasn't I born to be a regular gal?

The one who was of a normal life

growing up with a regular family

in a regular house

Why didn't I go to a normal school

with regular friends

graduate with regular people

get my regular degree

to hold down a regular job

to earn a regular salary

get married to a regular guy

with my 2.5 kids

& live in a regular world

Instead

I lived an irregular life

Raised in a one parent home 

I attend 3 conflicted school

chose an obscure career

and everyday my brain is skewed

by extremely abstract & conflicting thoughts

Why

Because artists aren't regular

We hurt for the unknown

We suffer all the time

We fall in love way too many times

& have our hearts broken double that amount

We crazily believe 

that we can save the world from itself

We are Narcissist, conflicted, feeling beings

that cannot just turn our emotions off

We're shy extroverts

who desperately crave attention

Look at me

Do I look like a regular gal to you?
