P.ost- T.raumatic S.tress D.isorder

"Little girl, i see the hurt in your eyes
I can see past the wounds and the disguise
I can't remember the last time I saw those face muscles rise
but baby things are going to get better"... she lied

Year after year same birthday wish never comes true
life after the battle field, brains so construed
Bang, goes the family
boom, goes the memories
All I can remember are the holes where things used to be

Tell me, I have P. T. S. D
this war has never ended to any degree
And I see the warriors crying like banshees
But, this dream is more of a reality

This girl, you see the look inside
don't you see the tears she cried
The look she tried to hide
all because of the depression that wouldn't subside

5 years of childhood, given away
all because of the battle that just wouldn't stray
And normality just couldn't be tamed
In my life of dismay

God? tell me there is one somewhere
tell me I could speak this prayer
cause' I've looked into the book I swear
and saw no answer for my life anywhere

I've wanted nothing more than this battle to end
every time I wake up, it's the day I dread
maybe I could just sleep this anger off in bed
But the P.T.S.D is bringing nightmares into my head

Please tell me what you think

      thanks. really appreciated. glad you liked it. yah i mean i don't really have the disorder it's more of a metaphor but it's supposed to be like the battle of cancer, because my brother has it and it just really tears apart my family and affects my life. That's also why i recently changed my name to swimforbetterdays. because it's a song about coping with cancer by Jack's Mannequin. thanks for the comment.
