Walking In Their Shoes

Unless you have walked in my shoes don't say you understand If you've never fought a battle in a foreign land Or if you're called out to a fire and then when you arrive You learn it was your neighbor's house and you're told no one survived When a cop gets a call about a speeding car He pulls up on a deadly scene and he knows who they are A call comes in to dispatch about a missing child Your heart starts pumping faster as your thoughts are running wild Then you soon discover that the child has been found A small lifeless body lying face down on the ground So each case may be different but one thing is the same We have one thing in common & PTSD is it's name

PTSD is one thing I am passionate about. The other thing that deeply concerns me is so many soldiers and vets are ending their lives because no one will help them.
