Alone

The nightmare inside is hurting me deep,
My comrades falling down to their feet,
I think of times when they were alive,
I break down, I fall, I am alone,
It comes back to my mind whenever I sleep,
When I wake, there's a gun to my head,
I ask myself if this is real,
I relive this moment over again,
I dont understand how am I in battle,
I dont think, I just react,
This is war,
Screaming, yelling, aruging, is all that I do,
My memories are hurting me, causing me pain,
I am caught and captured, held in chains,
Tortured to death, bleeding like rain,
Please help me god, I need guidance,
To figure a way out, out of this pain,
For I am Alone.

This poem is about what people mainly soldiers feel when they experience PTSD. Basically anything can happen to them, from pain to death. I just want others to understand how hard PTSD can affect someone so badly to the point where they feel they can trust no one. They aren't alone, we are here.
