everything was fine, i was so happy, i'm living my life and do all the things i love. i sing, i dance, i hop around all giggling with my friends. i used to think, how lucky i am. to not feel any sorrow, any pain. they said, i was their bundle of joy. they laughed a lot with me around. i cared about them, as they're the person that i love. everything was fine. so fine.
