Do you know what it’s like to be frozen in fear?
Feeling like the pain from the past is near?
You don’t have PTSD because you saw a spider,
Or because you heard a scary story.
It isn’t something distant that only soldiers struggle with.
Have you ever had a nightmare?
But the same one over and over yet it scares you each time?
On edge always looking for a threat,
Looking for an escape at all times,
I wish I could forget the crimes.
Don’t joke about the pain I suffer,
It only makes my path rougher.
Memories on loop 24/7
I can’t wait until I reach heaven,
For it will go away.
