A Poem: Average

Average house, average wife, average job,
Average kids, average religion, average mind,
These are the things that I could have had
Without schizophrenia.

like if the average American is obese, would I have to start gaining weight? :confounded:

That’s the way I felt when I was young. Now that kind of domesticity sounds nice.
