Not a Joke
Family and friends taking what I'm feeling as a joke
Like it was something I just made up
My struggle with PTSD is real and painful
And I'm feeling broke
My thoughts and feelings noone cares to see
They tell me PTSD is hard to believe
They don't see what all I'm going through
And how everyday is hard for me to make it through
Memories and Flashbacks I have are not pretend
I'm truly struggling
As I wait for them to come to an end
I've cried out for help
Yet noone seems to hear
Leaving my heart shattered
With constant fear
And my emotions hard to bear
It's been robbing me of my peace
And my sanity is starting to plummet down steep
My hope for surviving is fading away
More and more each day
No I'm not asking for pity
Just understanding
PTSD is real
And I need help to truly heal
