It was the only way I've ever known

I had only a distant thought of "normal"

Going through each day with half the beat,

Half the life, half the heart

Though I had twice the will,

twice the strength, twice the heart.

I then got a hope of someday reaching that distant thought

"normal"

I have now reached it and find

I could have never

thought of this.

Katy.
