“Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war

Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war

Demons run, but count the cost
The battle's won, but the child is lost”
― Steven Moffat


Am I the only one in church today feelin' the rain?
Does anyone else ever feel any pain?

Is there anyone else who hurts like me?
I look and see smiles that seem so free

For me it's the norm;
I too, show a smile (to hide my secret storm)

When I take a look around, everyone seems so happy, so strong
Here do I even belong?

No one has their pain displayed
It is of course, the smiling masquerade

I wrote this a year or two ago when I had moderate depression and was feeling lonely.
