Ptsd Prayer

As I lay me down to dream Please don't let me fight or scream Keep the nightmares far away Don't let me watch The death replay. Let me have One peaceful night To stay asleep until the light. Don't let me wake to sob and cry Over and over I've watched them die. Just a few hours in a quiet world No pink caskets or baby girl. No body bags stacked 3 feet high The smell of death from ground to sky. No cold sweats, shaking in the dark. The things I've seen has left it's mark. Docs and pills and counseling, Don't ever do a single thing. So you suck it up and just turn cold. Just let it go, is what I've been told. You think I really want this pain? To wallow in hell, going insane. Not be able to FEEL like you? I would have already, If it was that easy to do!! But tonight, Just let me sleep, Dear lord let it be dreamless and deep.
