HOPE

Hope can be made

And hope can be shattered

It's the thing that keeps me going

Hour upon hour

I hope I can make it

I hope I stay strong

I push through the uncertainty

And keep moving along

I would hope to be normal

While their is no such word

I hope the world stops pulling me down

Like I'm a broken winged bird

Losing my hope

Is the same as not breathing

I hope I prove others wrong

Before my heart fails to keep beating

I hope the doctors see

That their scans were wrong

That tomorrow I will wake

With my spine were it belongs

I am not a glass doll

That will break if it falls

I am hopeful, dream seeker

Hoping to find a place to belong

I hope that one day

The world will not stop to stair

As I wheel through the halls

In my hot pink wheelchair

I hope that the decision I must make

Is not so hard

That if I chose the right one

I will not wonder if it was wrong

I hope my life will stop playing

The same broken old tune

'Surgery' this 'Surgery' that

Oh, to hell with you

Hope can be made

And hope can be shattered

It's the thing that keeps me rolling

hour upon hour.

My Thoughts on Mikey's Dimension X Visit

Ok, I just realized something. In the episode, Mikey was entered Dimension X ten seconds before his brothers followed him. Yes Raph says fifteen but the actual episode run time says ten to eleven seconds. So, if we are going by what I read in a fanfiction by Have-A-Laugh called Okay Mikey, Mikey has been there for six months. So we call conclude that ten seconds equals six months. Twenty seconds would equal a year. So if Mikey's brothers had waited a full minute, he would have been in Dimension X for three years.
Three fricking years.
Hell, six months was probably torture for the first few months.
Think about it, none of the brothers have ever really been away form each other for an extended period of time such as this. Mikey, we know, is a people person. Even willing to risk his life to be friends with a human in one episode with Chris Bradford. All that time alone, especially considering Mikey pretty much needing someone to be there or to talk to him, must have been really hard for him.
He is also very reliant on this brothers, so the fact that they weren't there for six months probably but a lot of thoughts into his head. Maybe he thought they would never come for him, or that they hated him. It wouldn't surprise me if he had thoughts like this. With all this mental strain and physical strain of learning everything anew, I'm surprised he came back as happy as he was.
I wouldn't have.
