Copacetic



What does it mean to be normal?
One view says it's when you are formal
In all you do and say.

Another view is be the same
As those whose team is in the game
No matter what they play.

I understand just what they mean              
Since rumors start by what is seen
Though missing many facts.

Sometimes I wish that I could be
A player but that's not for me
And I could not relax

If I must sacrifice my need
To be creative I'd impede
Variety and love;

For poetry and music too,
Plus, anything I try to do
And dreams I'm thinking of.
