Ptsd

I dont want to die But i dont want to live Atrocities done I can not forgive Let go of the past Quit reliving the pain Lies and betrayals Stuck deep in my brain Emotions time warped Again fresh and new The questions rehashed Everything I've gone through Reach out your hand Stay in the now Break the cycle Help me somehow I dont want to live I dont want to die Trapped in the trauma Ever wondering WHY

There is such a jazzy feeling to this! Love it! Sorry I had to come back and add to my other comment. Ha! I may be back a third time. You never know.

I wanted once to pass on by my very own hand, but then I realised that to do this, would end everything permanently, including any and all of our victories together. If you ever need to talk, contact me. I am a survivor as well, friend.
