Afraid of Being Normal

They say “be special, chase the stars”

But what if average is who we are?

I fear a life that’s just okay

But hate the pressure every day

Dream big or you’re wasting time

That’s the lie stuck in my mind

What if peace is the real win

Not applause I’m chasing?

Why does quiet scare me more

Than a life I can’t afford?

I’m afraid of being normal

But exhausted chasing more

If happiness is simple things

Why do I ignore the door?

Maybe ordinary’s fine

If my heart feels alive
