life with PTSD

                        

Life with PTSD

Can no longer witness the terrifying event,

Now they can’t change the life they spent.

Life is become a nightmare,

For life, they have a long questionnaire.

 

Expressing in words is become difficult,

Not knowing when people will insult.

Waking up from a nightmare screaming,

Remembering an event which was traumatizing.

 

Though the wounds are healed with time.

But what about those inside the mind?

Recurrent sounds scare them the most,

But getting flashbacks are the worst.

 

Uncontrollable thoughts may interfere,

Later normal daily tasks seem unclear.

Experiencing strong negative emotions,

Which clash on them like waves of an ocean.

 

Being negative may not help them dwell,

But good counselling will get them out of the shell.
