What is PTSD?
So you want me to tell you about
the scars you cannot see
You want to understand
All about PTSD.
Me too!
It’s really hard to say
From many painful levels
Sometimes I think, “Is this real?”
Or my own shameful devils.
Who knows?
The feeling tank’s on empty
Except for numb and angry.
Each day begins with worry,
Fear and panic breed anxiety.
Who cares?
Pour a whacked-out cocktail:
Two parts sore, two parts scary,
Two parts hidden, two parts lonely.
Shake it well to keep life iffy.
Want one?
Most important, don’t forget
Can’t you hear what I don’t say?
When I tell you to go away,
Take my hand and say you’ll stay.
Please?
