Everyone's crazy. You know why? We all want to be normal. Well, we cant define normal, and, the people you can point at and say, well isn't he/she normal are rare. Doesnt that kind of defeat the pupose of normal? -My Friend

It's a great concept. A lot of people I bet, especially on this website, can relate to it! It's short and sweet, very easy to read but it leaves you with so much more than just a few lines of a poem. You pack a lot of emotion into only 8 lines, which is very nice! Good job!

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

Maybe, movements is better than dances in the 4th line. But it's just me, so...

This poem is good - short and easy to read... Keep it up :)

Short and sweet!  It's a nice poem, saying how kids aren't supposed to have fun.
