Normal is a lie

Just a throw away piece of poetry I wrote the other day. Just thought I'd post it.

                           You bite your own lip so you can kiss her.
You breathe in and out so you can collapse.
Withering on the floor.
Walking on the ceiling.
Normal is a lie if you look too long.

Every bodies fidgeting, fingers are swollen.
Eyes of every colour keep on darting.
The room gets smaller and the gloves come off.
Everyone's a mimic.
Everyone's panting.
Normal is a lie if you look too long.

Everybody has a skeleton holding it together.
Skeletons in the closest holding us upright.
Press your uniform, iron out all the line.
Left, right, left, right nothing worse than a decline.
Normal is a lie if you look too long.
