PTSD

No one knows...

The horrors I have seen

Men mowed down

As if it were all just a game 

And we, the pawns

Images of them, still haunt me

I feel as if they, still follow me 

My mind will never be at peace

And they call this PTSD

I say it's Hell 

And it is one I deserve

I cannot replace the lives I've taken

For that, I am sorry

Now leave me be

While I deal with my PTSD

Author's Note

In Honor of our veterans may they one day find peace.

Okay, wow. This one thing speaks legions. You couldn't be more wrong about how people with PTSD feel. I would know personally because I have it. This is truly a work of art and I'm really happy to read it

Shivers man. Such a powerful poem, so much emotion. You would almost think you know someone with PTSD to be able to write this.

I thought i would check out one of your poems again, but man, you're improving really fast!
