I'm a little man curled up in a cardboard box, with a bowl in my hand. The bowl is empty, of course it is, yet my eyes still reflect the bright of hoping that some time it won't be. You might want to know what I beg for: I want at least one person to give me love, to care about me, to like me, to befriend me— will you be that person? No? Oh, whatever— I'm already used to that.
