It's been about a year since I've been back. I was listening to music and sitting on my window seat, looking out at the sunset. Then my favorite song came on. I started singing it.

You shout it loud, but I can't hear a word you say.
I'm talking loud, not saying much.

I'm crticized, but all your bullets ricochet.
You shoot me down, but I get up.

I'm bullet proof, nothing to lose.
Fire away, fire away.

At this point, tears are coming down my face. I keep a hard face around eveyone. Telling them I'm strong.

Ricochet, you take your aim.
Fire away, fire away.

That they would never be able to get to me.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium.

All my nightmares mean nothing. In reality, they mean everything.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium.

I think I can get through it on my own. I don't need others.

Cut me down, but it's you who has further to fall.
Ghost town, haunted love.

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones.
I'm talking loud, not saying much.

Nothing they say can bring me down.

I'm bullet proof, nothing to lose.
Fire away, fire away.

I remember all the bad things people say about me. They haunt me every waking hour. I'm slowly breaking.

Ricochet, you take your aim.
Fire away, fire away.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium...

No. I'm strong. I can do this.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium...

I have everything I need.

I am Titanium...

I have a brother.

I am Titanium...

I have a boyfriend.

Stone hard, machine gun.
Firing at the ones who run.
Stone hard as bullet proof glass.

I have friends.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium...

I have a father figure.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium....

I have a home.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium...

I have a life.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall.
I am Titanium!

I have a family.

  When the song finishes, I find that it is about 11:30 at night. Damian is off of patrol tonight. I get up from my seat and go over to his room. I open the door, careful not to wake him, and walk over to his bed.

  I climb under the covers and lay next to Damian. I fell asleep knowing that I am loved.

HEY Y'ALL! I'm back with another chapter! I know it's kinda random, but I heard the song Titanium and I decided to use it in a story. I hope you like it!

And remember,
  we are all mad here.....

And remember,  we are all mad here
