Everyone's getting better
I'm getting bitter
and I'll be gone by the dead of winter
Dead in winter
Cold heart, cold blood
and I'm running out of time,
Running from my mind
Nothing makes sense
and they couldn't possibly understand
that the winter is home
to just another winter girl.
If you haven't read Laurie Halse Anderson's "Winter Girls," then here's a little background. Winter Girls essentially refers to eating disorders and starving, along with depression and turning cold, which is a associated with winter. She refers to it as "caught in between worlds. [You're] a ghost with a beating heart." Not dead, but certainly not alive.
