(A/N: Trigger warning, death mention, battle mention, blood mention)
-
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay, I feel inwardly, seeing Edmund stabbed.
I'm okay, I feel outwardly, as the innocent die.
I'm okay, I think, as I see I'm a child again.
I'm okay, I whisper in Narnia again.
I'm okay, I say as I see my kingdom in ruins.
I'm okay, I say as I see more people die.
I'm okay, I say louder as we're sent back to earth.
I'm okay, I say louder, when I'm looked down on for my womanhood.
I'm okay, still louder, as I put on my mask.
I'm okay,  louder still, as my lipstick stains like blood.
I'm okay, I shout, as I say "Yes, that's my mother. Yes, that's my sister, and my father and brothers."
I'm okay, it's a battle cry now.
I'm okay. I'm alive.
I'm okay.
I'm (in no way) okay.

(Another A/N: I wrote this about a year ago and just remembered it existed so I added it to this book real quick)
