_____
Yet she doesn't have a child's life anymore
_____
She's been living for months
_____
Inside these four white walls
_____
She knows exactly what she's got
_____
And she knows exactly what she wants
_____
She goes from one treatment to the next
_____
The treatments, the protocols
_____
While all her friends
_____
Play in the schoolyard
_____
To join them for a few hours
_____
They tell themselves too
_____
She finds some patience
_____
And her courage is palpable
_____
She draws a strength that only
_____
She invents stories
_____
She thinks only of the future
_____
She invents hopes
_____
The warrior's gonna heal
_____
Real life is close
_____
From the top of her ivory tower
_____
She watches the day after
He'd worked for twenty years
_____
Fired overnight
_____
Bought by a big group
_____
Several are in his position
With the installments to pay
_____
And piles of bills
_____
But without it and without a degree
_____
Far from the codes and far from the city
_____
Finding work is hard
_____
It's the climb into misery
_____
He's kicked out of his flat
_____
The first nights on the street
_____
But later, strangely
_____
He didn't fear his future anymore
_____
That survivors know well
_____
He tells himself we stop being afraid
_____
Once we've got nothing left
He's looking for training
_____
And watches the day after
He's riding back on a scooter
_____
From his twentieth birthday party
Because of a reckless driver
_____
Because of bad weather
_____
It doesn't happen only to others
_____
They amputate both his legs
_____
Thinking back to that night
Then stops going over and over
_____
With his carbon legs
_____
He even wants to play sports again
_____
And watches the day after
_____
The crash victims
_____
The unlucky for a day
_____
Those with no choice
_____
Those who carry their cross
Those who refuse their fate
_____
And change their story
_____
And those who turn the need to believe
_____
Those who can see the day after
_____
And those who didn't make it
