Ptsd Life

PTSD LIFE

Presence of unwanted dreams.
Tremors in my body it causes
Searching for answers it would seem
Dangerous as there are no pauses
Loving oneself is hard to create
Intimacy is so far away
Friendship begging I need a mate
Energy depletes every day

This is a powerful write, Gordon, and masterfully-penned - I enjoyed it very much! (I also have a poem on the subject) This is a subject not broached nearly enough, IMHO, but this poem is a great step in the other direction ... blessings and congrats on the HM! :-)

The kind of world we find ourselves... so we ask, "will things ever be better?" and we are left to huge our rhetorical questions. Dear Gordon, you know where the shoe pinches.
