Poem
As I see it there is no cure Meds can help that's for sure But meds can make things alot worse Mental health is a real bad curse The meds will help you sleep at night Or even help you fight or flight The effects may damage your internal store Kidneys livers even more I know this at first hand So join me on this awareness stand I stand here totally med free Trying to think rationally Its about trapped memories We must search for the keys The only way to rid this fear Process the memory shed a tear To process the memory we must go back Get the processor back on track Its a complex piece of machinery It's called the brain can't you see They talk of trauma and incidents Put it in the box sounds magnificent The filing cabinet is over flowing PTSD just keeps on growing So relax and ground yourself Another winner in mental health Do this and return from hell Use sight,touch, sound and even smell Bring yourself out of the dark place Look around for the friendly face Open up and talk it through This victory does belong to you Many types of help out there A lot of family and friends do care Don't try to fight it on your own The black dog has just grown Try the doctors or self refer You need help that's for sure Once in the system your tool box is bigger Hit the black dog with the big yellow digger He will never totally disappear You will be stronger have no fear When he raises his ugly head Your strength will put him back to bed I am referring to therapy Non intrusive just you see It's not for everyone I do know But surely it is worth a go Finally I will just say Take every day DAY BY DAY Stay strong and remain positive You've deserved the right to live
