My Ptsd For You

The inference you sing 
seems like my own life
so many words that you say
descriptions of my hell
I wish they would Fade away 
but like a tattoo on the face,
of an old Staind shirt
It won't leave my mind

Then you Blow Away 
all these fears with these tunes

So Please 
A little help Right Here
it goes a long way
just like the pain I held inside

No one knows all the things
I been through out there
or all the things that you unknowingly helped me through!

On your hand written pages
are the words of my life
I hear them now
And it takes me back 

The Excess Baggage I bring round with me
It's a timeline for me to rewind
This is my PTSD
it's with me everywhere,
I didn't "carry" through my wars
words of history were our tools

It's stacking up hard now
tearing through 
this weary soul

Yet It's Been Awhile 
since I've been down that road

Now I'll leave this 
Torment behind 
never beckoning me, I lay them to rest

This Reply to our Reality will make me Suffer no more

Just so you know
I'm not some Wannabe
looking for some Paper Wings
my song's not about that

So Right Here and right now,
I guess there's only one thing 
left to say'

And it's this'

This is For You!

Ahh!! It is good to have a friend/girlfriend/wife to help a person through the bad times. Emotive and expressive work. Sara
