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
