Just a PTSD moment

Just a PTSD moment

(Mike Wheatley)

(Special thanks to Boone Cutler for the inspiration)

Every day is just a moment in time.

No matter the situation…it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

Depression consumes your mind today and you felt like ending your life,

Suicide seems the greatest option, then while thinking how it will impact your children’s life,

You put down the knife.

BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

Feeling hostile wanting to go on a murderous rampage,

Taking away lives from those who smile, then you realize.

 BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

Waking up from a nightmare in a cold shivering sweat, dreaming of the bloody warfare.

The day feels ruined, now you can't focus right, anyone steps into your path you wish to fight,

BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

In a crowded store with loud noises and sounds,

Looking at your watch anxiously waiting as time counts down.

You’re beginning to sweat and heart begins to pound,

You walked in the store with a smile that is now a frown.

BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

Driving in your car, mind is in a haze,

You’re approaching an overpass having a flashback reminiscing of the days,

Terrorist had demonic tricky ways.

Without warning crossing other lanes,

Other drivers flipping the bird, looking at you like you’re the one insane.

BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.

Even just walking the city streets, feeling eyes are peering on you,

Cover and concealment is the instinct that’s been instilled into you.

To a place you try to hide hoping get these eyes off of you,

This is your mind making you feel that way, it’s true.

BUT…Today is another day; it's just a PTSD moment in your life.
