[Miss Mousetrousers]

Sometimes it's the wisdom of friends
That's your only means to transcend
From the despair of what you should be
To the vision of all they still see.
You may feel that you're tattered and torn
But they won't let you bear it alone.
They're holding their hands out for you
But you've got to do the same too.

Miss MT.
