TERROR

Traumatic injuries to the mind and body
Entering a sphere of darkness
Reruns play over and over
Re-setting the many moments
Of one’s reality
Recanting what was once said...

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....

Premium Member Turn Off Annoying adds forever
Braising traumatic brain injury pain

easily distracted by too many ads 

the sheer notion of being creative

is having a creative space to write
 
sincerely fight flight beyond plight

"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!...

Rise Yourself and Break the Cage
Bondage life get you wrapped up in a cage
A love can free you from traumatic haze
You get your life to explore and venture
Obstacles will not be a hindrance for your future
Get out of your trauma and bound of house cage....

Premium Member Thomas Turkey Avoids the Dreaded Axe
Tom Turkey got lost 'midst the teeming flock,

   Thus, avoiding the dreaded chopping block!

      Hunkering down spared his life,

         Averting the carving knife!

            He now recovers from traumatic shock!...

    Simply changing gears

Traumatic By Pamela Espinal 8th Grade
Tries to kill himself.
Rather die young than
Achieve goals.
Unsure about
Making a bright future.
Acts like a follower but can be a leader.
Tries to get out of trouble but
Instead, continues until something bad happens, then
Cries when not heard....

Pathetic
Around you lost
in sense of time.
I stutter,
most un-poetic,
next words in line

Searching for factors
to ease the threat.
This silhouette sounds
so upset,
so dramatic,
such regret.

The insides
so traumatic.

To your static
I'm an addict.

To say it now
seems so pathetic....

Heal me
Confused with the lies
Sparkled with the beauty of memories
Have I gone mad?
Stricken along my traumatic stories
Given the hope yet the stars looked sad
Mother, I'm being swallowed by dreadful nightmares
Alive yet soul trapped in its own darkness
Find me, heal me, wake me....

Please Respect the Walking Drunk
No music
uplifting, soft or loud.
My nerves and liver
have been tenderized
with traumatic alcohol tremors all night.
Be gentle as I descend the stairs
a pale ghost of myself.
No, no fried eggs or smoked kippers!
Black coffee perhaps,
but keep pouring it over my head
until I awake....

Lost Gain
Three years and I am
movement ready,

on I realise.
But I can't
get it quite,

as I'm passed
the finishing need,
a traumatic reaction
of stress
assess-
ment.

Three years and I am
looking better:
fatter,
greyer,
with rotten teeth...

the premature wrinkle,
my war hero.

For smiling unforgivably....

Premium Member Sacred Meaning
If muses
have sacred meanings
deeper
and before secular evolving purposes,

As ordained vocations
are to painful employment,

Then what music
would
could
should we prefer outside
to health care inside
digest?

Together peaceful
in resonance

Deeper
and before traumatic
warring
wearied
worn out dissonance....

Solemn Sparrow
The Solemn Sparrow Sings a Lonely Song
Swiftly Swaying Sweetly Saying
Soaring the Sky Somewhere Above

Tearing the sky with Terrible Tears
Telling Tales To Those who listen
Taking Time To sound Traumatic

The Solemn Sparrow Sings
Weeping Wearily on the Wings of Heaven
Daring Dully Desiring Death

The Solemn Sparrow Sings...

Premium Member Painted Memories
 She painted her memories
 in images surreal
 Trying to hide scars reality would reveal
 A band-aid of illusions
 To alleviate the pain,
 Some memories are traumatic
 with wounds that wont heal
 She tries holding back the tears 
 but the pain she can't conceal
 As she paints memories
 in images surreal

Premium Member I Keep
Deep down there
where dreams are buried under
the realities of everyday life

I keep going.

Under the bottom
of a dry well
infested with dark craving creatures
smothered over with rusty scraps
of traumatic memories

I keep hoping

Here, there, everywhere
Hugging the earth
I am surrounded
by the spirit
to whom

I keep praying...

MULTIPLICITY
a
combined
innocence
 something
beautiful
 oft traumatic
yet
 figurative
to
represent
a
freewheeling
spirit
charmingly
gentle
yet
with
an unworldly
quality
collides
to portend

in
 the blatant
 isolation
a thesis
 drifting
a  happening
reaping
benefits
 a
 setting
continued
 throughout
then
evaporated...

Memories
Memories never fade away 
Even if your tears and smiles choose the better way

Happiest moments start hurting you the most
Making your present moments roast

Sometimes these memories hurt you
And you land in deep blue

Some turn nostalgic
while some may turn traumatic

Memories are the shadow of the past
From now make present a blissful blast...

Your Grave Was Slowly Being Dug
(Dedicated to Heath Ledger who died January 22, 2008.)

You starred as the Joker but your death was no joke.
Millions of your fans now have hearts that are broke.
Your grave was slowly being dug.
You died because you took drugs.
Lots of people enjoyed seeing you in 10 things I hate about you.
Your death was traumatic but it shows kids what drugs can do....

Drifter
In ethereal darkness
A soul drifted in celestial comfort
Content in a cosmic void
Elysian in it's astral slumber
Then, a match struck the spark
And light tore the blackness asunder

Senses scream into his mind
Lungs draw the first breath
Lips cry out to the sky
A beautiful and traumatic gift 
Given to the satisfied
Sensation enveloping, ever relentless....

The melted soul
the solitude of life 
knocking each heart out of the light
Seeking whom to surprise
I love in darkness
the traumatic ways of harden

How my soul melted and get life
in the midst of mysterious lighting
I opened my harden hearts and seeking the brighten light
am here to testify of my old darken heart 
let live and have a holy life
Blessed be with all our soul...

Urban Warfare
Urban Warfare




Knock Knock, tick tocks the clock,
post traumatic syndrome head trauma shock.
Glock Glock, click pop weapon stock,
three dimensional residential sniper kill shot on lock.

Hippity Hop, bee bop the music stops,
scattered brats panic attack, raiding cops.
Ding Dong, ping pong ball bounce bops,
sad sadistic, unrealistic, urban firearm goes pop, pop, pop!...
