P.T.S.D


What is this thing P.T.S.D?

It is something you cannot see

The horror, the anguish & the pain

has returned to haunt me yet again

I tried to leave these thoughts behind

but they will always be on my mind

To see a man just blown apart

affects your mind affects your heart

Will it ever go away

no-one can ever say

emotions wrecked, it makes me sad

the dreams I have are always bad

One score years ago I’d never cry

I do not know the reasons why

But now I cry so easily

at many things I hear & see

I wish I was the old me

We’ll just have to wait & see
