the trouble with normal - lea blasko

my childhood house had all different color walls
the living room red 
my basement room yellow
my brothers purple
my socks mismatched on each foot mimicking the rainbow in our home
the only difference were the bottoms of mine were brown from being worn in with freedom
my mom would talk about this freedom
she was proud of this freedom
I kissed my best friend for the first time when I was 5
playing doctor 
I was saving her life
she was saving mine 
my socks are still rainbow but my walls are white now
