PTSD (poem)

By Lawrence Christie

What is the sound of a scream
From deep inside your head
And how can you dream
When all your dreams have been bled
How do you escape from the dead
How do you avoid
The impending dread

And from here where do I go
Is there a fountain I can drink from
That will heal my tattered soul
And in the night
When I am alone
May I come home now
Would it be possible for me
To ever come home Again
