Song: The Doctor Said by Chloe Adams
I'm okay during the day,
During the day,
I have things to say,
I have things to read,
I have things to write,
I have things to sing,
During the day,
I have people to talk to,
I have people to smile with,
I have people to take my mind off it,
During the day,
I forget about my internal war,
I forget about the darkness,
I forget about the terror it brings,
I forget about the fights,
The punches,
The bullets,
And the kicks,
During the day,
I am okay,
At night,
I am forced to fight,
I am forced to try not to cry,
I am forced to bring my own
Chainmail armour,
I am forced to make
My own sword,
I am forced to find
My own pistol, and the bullets in it,
At night,
I am forced to defend myself,
At night,
I suffer endless beatings,
I suffer from taunting whispers,
I suffer because I can't,
I can't bring my chainmail,
My enemy knows where the weak points are,
I can't make my own sword,
My enemy has a newer, better one,
I can't find a pistol, or the bullets,
My enemy has a machine gun,
At night,
I am hit,
Punch after punch,
Kick after kick,
It doesn't leave any bruises,
It can't leave any bruises,
Not physical,
To see where I hurt,
Doctors must search,
They must look past my shell,
They must try and see,
At night,
I'm not alright.
