I found myself just yesterday. I wondered where I'd been, and in the mirror where my reflection was I saw that I was thin. "Isn't it funny" I thought to myself, and pondered as I sat~ "Last time I remember I'm pretty sure my body had more fat." So away I turned and as if in a dream I floated by the mirror and told myself "if...

TOMORROW I stand here wondering just how it's going to be and if somewhere an answer is waiting just for me... Shivering inside the cold just beats me down and though my world is filled with noise I can't hear a sound. Come to me now. I'am waiting just for you.
