Bizzare Ptsd Exoerience

A bizzare experience happend today
Went into flight mode all I can say
Felt I was followed paranoia set in
Couldn't rid the voices from deep within

Went to a shop and bought myself drink
Found a hidey hole so I could just sink
No one would find me now that's a shame 
When it is over i feel no pain

My mind is mashed
Don't know where to turn
My thoughts are on fire
Just want them to burn

As I wallowed in my pit of despair
I realised that people did care
I pulled myself out of this dark hole
Felt I had failed deep in my soul

Today's a new day and feelings haven't gone
Try to convince myself I do belong
Grounding exercises aren't working one bit
Please help me out of this sorrowful pit

As I write this little poem
I've come back to this plain
It's because of requiem
Family and friends don't deserve pain

Gordon, I pray the angels provide a respite from the demons. Courage, in the face of what we call life, is the price. -Richard

Visceral, lump in the throat, heart rendering piece my friend. People do care. Reaching out is not easy, as none of this is. Keep writing. My heart is with you Gordon. Poetry hugs. xomo
