What Is War

I can hear a distant ringing, But where is it coming from? I can smell smoke, But where is it coming from? I can see their dead bodies, But where did they come from? I can taste ashes flying into my mouth, But where are they coming from? I can feel the weight of a gun, But where did it come from? (talks about emotionally falling into a pit of despair)

This poem was not very personal, but it was still fun to write. It is supposed to be about a man with PTSD who comes home from a war and kind of goes crazy. He is still experiencing the war from his home and it scares/confuses him. If any of you can relate, I'm very sorry.
