A Poem About My Life With Ptsd

[Deleted member 20280]

Well,

I sit here web-building, needing a break as it is again 0650 hrs UK standard time and yet again I am awake and have been all night.

So I put finger to keyboard and thought all poetic like........ WHY!!!!! I have no idea, I just felt like it.

So here is that Poem.

To abandon me the way they did,
I could stand proud, I could have hid
Away from life, now with no wife,
No family to comfort me.

I choose now life, I shall not hide,
I have a life, I have my pride.
I did survive though all those years,
I wipe my eyes of shedded tears.

I am not weak, as they would say,
for I am Strong, tis they that pay.
For I did Surive, and I will thrive.
I will regain my life again.


I know how dangerous this can be,
for someone like me, with PTSD.
For only man is all I am.
Not superman or Sam I am :)

For I am me, and you are thee,
we can survive and then come through.
There is a light, that we can see
both me and thee, and thee and me.

I now look forward to life anew,
a life together me and you.
For my life now is full of glee
I'm not alone, I have PTSD !!!
