Notice :THE EVENTS IN THIS POEM HAVE HAPPENED TO OUR VETS

I can't think

I feel it again

The pain as I grab the sink

As memories and evils flood in

The mirror shows the horrors in my head

The cry of pain escapes me

As I find myself chained to a bed

With scorpions all over me

Then it changes...

To a thing very obscene

To my hospital room after it all

When I didn't know what was life at all

Than I'm back in my bathroom

Just like that my nightmare is over

They call this many things:

Shell shocked

Battle fatigue

Post-Vietnam syndrome

Gross stress disorder

Post traumatic stress disorder

PTSD

Do you know what finally called it...

INSANITY

TO THE FAMILIES OF VETS WITH PTSD... I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW WHERE CARE AND ARE TRYING TO HELP
