My Look At PTSD

 

Long dark robe

Non distinct face

Pungent odor of death

Chilling silence.

 

Peace be with us

Memory be still

Hurt go away

No tickets for admittance.

 

Prune the feelings

Oh wonderful death

Hurt no more

PTSD use the scythe

 

Mystery of the dark

Place your robe around me

No memory of thy face

Draw thy blade from thy sheathe.

 

Oh dreaded reaper of many

Plunge thy blade deep

For this will be my last few hours

Of memories and non-restful sleep.
