Before we enter the world so strange
We are already in a state of change
Inside our mothers’ wombs we sigh
Already knowing truth from lie
Though our minds are open, our fists are curled
Plotting out our destinies unfurled
And while we wait, we’re deep asleep
Listening for a secret to keep

Our brains are already working before we're even born. Our minds are taking shape and constantly changing the more we grow and the more we learn.

It's a very interesting concept...Do you know how hard you are to find?! Seriously, I clicked on every name you commented on my stuff with until I got a hit! Seriously, I do miss you!
