Megann - Atmosphere

somewhere out there
floating in the atmosphere
somewhere i'm there in the midst of nothing

somewhere, somewhere,
i'm defined by what isn't there
somewhere in the atmosphere

anywhere, anywhere
we all change and we all stay
anywhere, somewhere no one is the same

not here, not there
people watch us everywhere
anywhere, somewhere,
we're all here in the atmosphere

Megann, age 16
