Ptsd Poems - Poems about Ptsd

My PTSD is here within me. Tries to control my mind. Tries to dictate what I find. My PTSD lives here with me. Can control some actions and thoughts.

The sun closes her eyes, and I must close mine, this time, but my breaking blood-brain barrier bids otherwise. Another long night bodes foreboding in this light. Forbidden thoughts seep deep from blood to brain. I must fight, again, another tormenting night. Earth's most frightening repetitive cycle plays on repeat as I try to cycle through my backups to no avail,...

Here I lie in wait, for the enemy at the gate, it's not like they haven't been here before, carrying their AK74, Isis or cartel they're all bad, what they've done haunts me till I'm sad, every shadow's move catches my eye, this may be the night my enemies die, even at night my pistol sights glow, it becomes so quiet I hear my...

He walks alone, a shadow cast By memories too fierce to last, A warrior once, now lost, betrayed— By time, by fate, by war's parade. His brothers, bold, now rest below, Their blood, their courage, still they glow, In Valhalla’s hall, where feast and song Echo the names...
