PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is

a thing people had coming back from war

But they used to call it \"shell shock\"--

not the kind of thing a child should endure.

 

I\'m jumpy as hell and quick to frighten

Memories come at me in my dreams

Disoriented upon waking-this I\'m 

not faking-I\'ve had a nightmare it seems

 

It\'s hard to measure whose is worse,

yours or mine, so hard to tell

I cry at others pain especially if 

they\'ve been through battle, that\'s hard as hell

 

I\'ll take my memories anyday

before I can watch a grown man cry

PTSD is a lifelong sentence

which is why the suicide rate is so high
