Its Hdst Not Ptsd
while the heart may come off pure
secret desires inherently do not
synchronized standards = compatibility
yet unhealed trauma = an utter mess...

Ptsd
some brain damage isn't physical
but a sudden assault
by sights, sounds or circumstance
that leave the cerebrum
asunder

carefree summer night
recalling the fireworks fuse…
Déjà vu to Vietnam
For the fireworks haiku contest and dedicated to all vets who suffer from PTSD....

4th of July Conflict
explosions come in spurts
streaming screaming then POP!
war veterans who fought for us cringe
PTSD makes this a night of horror for them
4th of July fun for others...

Ptsd (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Possibly the most difficult battle I've ever fought.
Timeless struggles of my mind.
Scenes of human depravity lurk behind my closed eyes.
Disturbs my daily routines and demands attention....

Ptsd
fireworks or gun fire?
If you suffer from PTSD does it matter?
Hurting their heart, and their dogs’ ears.
And yet, we love them in America.
Where vets are suffering every time, they hear them....

Duas Electiones
You have two choices
in war…
Turn into a psychopath,
or suffer PTSD
Becoming the former,
may insure your survival
Suffering the latter
—and your world self destructs

"ptsd"
Post: the brains reaction, after the fact -
Traumatic - the ugly, sad truth that shook me off track!
Stress; exhaustive intrusions keep me on edge -
Disorder - fear of the nightmare that lives in my head!...

Father of Mine
Father of Mine,
What horrors have you seen?
That kept you from us
From the family that we could never be?
I love you
And I fear that the further you drift,
That you’ll answer L’apple du vidde.
Is it so wrong to be worried?
I love you....

Ptsd
Staunch, spine straight as a flagpole
Chin tucked into neckfolds of flesh
Face itch, lips blubber incessantly...
Hips thrust forward... twin bulldozers
Life expectancy, a speck in a sandstorm
Rows of medals under gray sash, Iraq...

Degrees
Aching OA and RSI.
(not to mention RSSI,
an understudy in CTE)
The ever dependable SAD.
Add the ADD to the PTSD,
the monthly dose of PMS
and the occasional case of RLS.
Not to be forgotten
is the Great TBI.
Yes!
Working on a Doctorate of Life I am....

Indeed
Little about me...
Severe depression, Anxiety not to mention PTSD
Recently diagnosed, unmedicated
At times I feel obliterated
Though I hope to cope and not to croak...
Basically to provoke
Longevity with no strife for
This a beautiful life...
Indeed....

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...

Historical Foreshadowing
Historical Foreshadowing
Marring-
The once brilliant Sanctuary
-A commonplace Event-
Without a place.
An opening up
Of old and new torments
And
Run
On
Thoughts
-Half Unanswered-
Stop at the border
-In semidarkness-
The edge of eternity....

Being a Hero
Toil away for precious oil -
Leave a trace in foreign sand.
Shuffle off your mortal coil -
Your sacrifice is in demand.
Kill a kid.
Go back home.
Redeploy.
Lose a limb.
Bang!
You're unemployed.
You're now completely worthless.
But hey,
Thank you for your service!...
