A poem about PTSD.
Poem – Constant Dark Shadow Companion
PTSD mind
Remembers
Too much
Different
Trauma
Fight
Vying
For
Equal
Attention
Never knowing
Which trauma
Will spring
From the
Dark recesses
Of my
Meticulously
Stored
Memory
Files
Narcissist
Sociopath
Psychopath
Paedophile
Which will
My mind
Choose
Today?
Tonight
As my
Companion?
Mother
Step father
Neighbour
Family friend
Sisters
Ex-husband
Pastor
Stranger
In the park
All memories
Dark
Pain
Hurt
Betrayal
Suffering
Abuse
Lies
Manipulation
They all
Enjoyed
Since PTSD
Crash
2012
Brain
Unable to
Contain
Repress
Suppress
Any longer
Memories
Unleashed
Fear emotions
Deep pain
Gushing forth
Overflowing dam
Gates
Open
A torrent
Of pain
Surges forth
Unrepentant
Still stuck
In my mind
In my files
Springing
Forth
Uninvited
Unwanted
Their appearance
Timing
Never known
Struggling
To live
Darkness
Dragging
Consuming
Constant
Unwanted
Black
Shadow
Companion.
