PTSD: Original poem

P is for post, as if past or present really matters. It's never in the past and its always with you. From the moment it happens till the day your life ends, it's always fresh. Even if they say it gets better or easier at 1. It's never your past it's always present.

T is for traumatic, trauma that causes the pain to stick. Most associated with large events, concerts costly injuries and well known issues being further explored. Yet, for most of it was like this at all. It started small and grew as we did. The summer never ends and it only reforms itself, physical trauma become psychological and then you become physical. As you further traumatize yourself and hurt others.

S stands for stress come on but does it really explain? The walls closing in, the night terrors, the seclusion and self-hatred, the flashbacks it's all... stress or is it not. It's our minds ripping the memories and scattering them throughout our daily lives, stress is the least of our worries on a good day.

The D is for disorder and this is when it gets too far. They note app to Sikes and ambulance or in a police office or squad car kid pills and doctors and blame is assigned, but it's too late you're already lost your mind.
