Cbt Therapy

There are people with this condition
And many people are not aware
This is not mental sub division 
Join me and show you care

They suffer from sleepless nights
But they are not insomniacs 
They remember flight or fight
Join me and have there backs

I raise awareness for there souls
To keep them feeling strong
Get shot of all there evil trolls
Keep these people where they belong

It's a condition known as PTSD
I want you all to understand
This can affect you and me
Or even someone in the school band

It is not just the serviceman or woman
That this can hurt and destroy
It's everyone on this land 
From the eldest to youngest boy

It is the trauma that they have seen
That eats and niggles away
From accidents where they have been 
Their memories are here to stay

These people need love and understanding 
A shoulder, an ear or a friendly face
CBT is really outstanding 
And is ahead in this race 

For those that don't know what it is
Cognative behavioral  Therapy 
It's big words now understand this
It helps people to be happy

It gives them systems to understand 
Attempts to conquer all their fears
Trains the mind to help them stand 
Amongst emotion and the tears

It gives them hope
Gets them off the dope
Gives them a mission
And a vision

This is not a quick fix
Many demons will change tact
Be there for them in the mix
This will help that's a fact 

Hope defeats suicide 
It helps you to believe
This is going to be a  hard ride
But they deserve to live
