Wendy the Werewolf Stalker Cabin Bathroom and then Out; Thursday Morning [ 07/16 ].
It was all starting out to be a very normal sort of morning for Turtle. She woke up, groaned into her pillow and contemplated getting a few more minutes of sleep, and then resolved that she had a whole day full of a lot of things to do, so she got up grudgingly. She grabbed her things to shuffle to the bathroom for a shower and, when she got out and wiped away the fog, she looked at her reflection and sighed. Lately, that had been happening; she'd see herself there and just feel unsure of exactly what to do with herself. Sure, she knew what she'd do after school, but that was still a year away, and a year could be a long time to go through this every morning...
But it was all going to be okay. This was clearly stated by the fact that Turtle then opened her mouth and began to pour out her heart to her reflection. In song.
"I'm not afraid," Turtle sang,
"Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard.
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company.
"I never thought you were a fool," Oh, that was trying to reach levels she couldn't quite, but it didn't stop herself from giving these encouraging words to herself,
"But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
'Cause tears are going nowhere baby.
"You've got to get yourself together.
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it.
Don't say that later will be better.
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it.
"I will not forsake
The colors that you bring.
The nights you filled with fireworks,
They left you with nothing.
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me.
I listen through your ears,
Through your eyes I can see.
"You are such a fool
To worry like you do. Oh,
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now.
My, oh my.
"You've got to get yourself together.
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it.
Oh love, look at you now.
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it.
Oh lord look at you now,
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you cant gt out of it."
And, whoa there, now Turtle was really getting into the impassioned reverie.
"I was unconscious, half asleep.
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass..."
This time will pass. And then she it was nothing but awesome sailing from here on in. Turtle drew in a deep breath. Time to make something of this year already!
[[ open, sure, especially for cabin mates or anyone else who might have caught her belting it out when she leaves. I could not get this scene out of my head the other day. ]]
