"Normal" | Damien Dugan

Updated: Feb 2, 2020

People always think

That everyone

Is

“Normal”

When truly someone has something that sparked

Who they were

It was something they’re

Families did

Or that they

Did

For me

It was multiple

Events

And things

That shaped

Me

That shaped my life

I have to monsters

That are attached to me

That make me what

I am

That make me who

I am

The first monster shaped me

A lot

It shaped me

To be stronger mentally

It made want to get stronger as

A person

That was the monster of abuse

It was the monster that attacked me at only

Being in 4th grade

Only a child

But it made me

Spark into

Being more mature

It was the first monster that i was

Able to fight off

Yet it will always be there

The second monster

Happened in 8th grade

And I had been having

The most wonderful

Night

When everything

Went the wrong way

The monster attacked my mom

And it blinded me

To it at first

And then i was trying to go after

That monster but

My mom stopped me

And she stopped me so that the

Monster couldn’t get me

Like they did her

How they attacked

Her

But that night it sparked my

Mind

To become

A man

To become who

I am

Today

And that person couldn’t be normal

With the monsters in their life
